Here is a carnival bowl I've had sitting around for quite a while and have almost given up on IDing. It has a really cool design but I haven't been able to figure out what it is. If anyone has any info or ideas I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.

Northwoods embroidered mums
Thanks Shawn, I was hoping you might see this.
Do you happen to know if this would be the plain blue, ice blue, electric blue or sapphire blue? There sure are a lot of choices :).
Thanks for the love Tony.
It has Very Good Colors, but I would say Cobalt Blue, of course its hard to tell without seeing a picture of the base and of it against a light source! and if it is perfect I would put a value on it between $200.00 and $300.00, based on auctions Ive seen end with similar examples, of course on Ebay the ending auction price is never certain!
Thanks for the loves Shawn and Amber.
Thanks again for the info Shawn. I have swapped out some of the pictures if it helps including one showing the base.
That's a beauty of a piece of carnival glass ! I love the Northwoods Carnival the best. My grandmother had a deep purple Northwoods pitcher and 6 glasses for years and then her sister asked for it and she reluctantly gave it to her. It belonged to my great grandmother and I wonder where it is after all these years.
No Problem Ks85, I hope you treasure that piece its wonderful!
It would be very nice if you could find it Debbie, I'm sure it was Beautiful. :)
Thanks Debbie. I hope you are able to locate your set or maybe an identical one online.
Thanks for the loves everyone.
