You are bidding on a rare authentic custard glass tumbler made around 1900 by Northwood Factory, during the pre carnival glass period, bought some years ago in the USA from an old custard glass collector.
Condition: Pattern is called Inverted fan and feather, the colour is warmly translucent to the light, in EXCELLENT condition, no chips cracks or damage of any kind, Pink colour perfect and Gold decoration intact at 90%!!!! (see photos). This pattern also had a limited production in pink slag glass, and later revived in opalescent and carnival glass novelties.
Reference: this old glass is represented on page 20 of the Encyclopedia of Victorian Pattern Glass Book 4 – Custard glass from A to Z, by William Heacock.
A wonderful addition to any collection of custard, opalescent, vaseline, opaline, EAPG, pressed press molded and art glass!
