Story
In 1908, the glass world was turned upside down when manufacturers discovered how to mimic the expensive, hand-blown iridescent glass of Tiffany and Steuben using mass-production techniques.
Maker / Origin
Harry Northwood, an English immigrant and son of a legendary glass carver, founded his company in West Virginia with a vision to bring high-art aesthetics to the masses.
Condition & Value
The iridescence appears exceptionally well-preserved with strong orange and pink highlights. Quick ID could not verify a named-artist market here, so this is intentionally priced like decorative/local-sale art.
