Northwood Grape & Cable Marigold Carnival Glass Berry Set, 6 Pieces c.1910
Six-piece marigold carnival glass berry set in Northwood's signature Grape & Cable pattern, comprising one master bowl and five individual berries. The deeply molded grape clusters and trailing vines wrap each piece beneath a ropelike cable band, terminating in the pattern's distinctive sawtooth rim. Warm marigold iridescence pulls violet and copper highlights from the fluted interiors and stippled grounds, with the master bowl carrying the encircled "N" trademark Harry Northwood introduced in 1905 — a maker's mark that helped legitimize American carnival glass against its Bohemian and English rivals.
Grape & Cable was Northwood's most prolific and commercially successful carnival pattern, produced at the Wheeling, West Virginia works from roughly 1908 through the late 1910s. Complete berry sets surviving intact with matching iridescence across all six pieces are increasingly uncommon.
CONDITION
Good overall with strong marigold color and consistent iridescence across all six pieces. Surface shows light scratches and use wear commensurate with age, and one small berry bowl exhibits dishwasher sickness (cloudy interior haze) as shown in the images.
