Post by: maa1247 on April 06, 2017, 08:43:22 PM

Does anyone know the age of this beautiful EAPG Glass serving pieces - with strawberries/leaves and lots of gold embellishments?

It's similar to Northwood's Strawberry Pattern

Thank you - This could be Northwood but there is no "mark" on bottom of any of the pieces.  I realize that not all Northwood patterns carry the mark, and in some patterns that do carry the mark, not all pieces may have it. I am only guessing, but I think these pieces are early 1900's.  What are your thoughts on dating these items.  Thanks

The Northwood Glass Company is primarily noted for its Carnival Glass, ..... not its EAPG, ..... but keep in mind ....... that bunches n' bunches of Carnival Glass was made via use of the EAPG molds ...... so the "pattern" names are the same in most cases.

And ps, ...... you are seeing correctly, ....... not all Northwood pieces are "marked" ..... and that is why knowing the "pattern" name is important.

Good one, KC    :) :)

And Mart, I seen the "Greek key" and that's why I first stated "It's similar to Northwood's Strawberry Pattern".

I did 2 or 3 different Google searches but the identical "pattern" didn't come up.

Mart, the "Greek key" design is/was a commonly used "theme" that can be found on dozens n' dozens of differ items ....... and thus the reason it "caught my eye" when I first looked a the posted picture.

That "Greek key" is oftentimes the "key" clue to determining who made it

The Greek Key design is on the pieces made by The Indiana Glass Company is the same.  Thank all.
