This is a footed bowl with an elegant opalescent (milky white) finish from the "Ruffle & Ring" series by Northwood Glass Company of America. This is a rare antique, dating from the 1890s to the early 1900s. While the piece is primarily white, when held up to the light, the brownish transparent glass sections and the ruffled white sections create a milky white gradation, giving it a very charming appearance. It is in a beautiful condition for an antique, with no signs of use. It has the charm of pressed glass from companies like Fenton and Anchor Hocking, and while European and elegant, it is a product with a nostalgic atmosphere that will blend well with Japanese interiors. It is a recommended masterpiece. [Approximate Size] Diameter: 23-23.5 cm Height: 8 cm There may be hairline cracks, unevenness, or air bubbles that occur during the molding process, which are byproducts of manufacturing. These are commonly found in American antique glass and are not considered defects. We hope this will be of interest to those who can appreciate these characteristics. We also have other vintage glass items for sale, such as Fenton Coin Dot ruffled bowls and Fenton ruffled rim handled baskets. Please take a look.
