{"product_id":"northwood-holiday-marigold-carnival-glass-tray-1912","title":"Rare Northwood Holiday Pattern Marigold Carnival Glass Tray 1912 11 Inch","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is a rare \u003cb\u003eNorthwood carnival glass tray in the Holiday pattern\u003c\/b\u003e, dating to around \u003cb\u003e1912\u003c\/b\u003e. This round tray is made in marigold glass, with the iridescence most prominent on the underside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cb\u003eHoliday\u003c\/b\u003e pattern is an attractive geometric design consisting of a large radiating starburst in the centre, encircled by small eight-pointed stars. This is surrounded by a repeating angular design formed from multiple parallel lines, with a further border of larger stars around the outside. The broad raised rim has a simple moulded profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tray is a marigold colour, while the underside reveals considerably stronger iridescence when viewed at different angles, with flashes of pink, gold, green and blue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cb\u003eHoliday tray is a scarce Northwood form\u003c\/b\u003e and has only been offered for sale a few times that I can ascertain. Particularly interesting is the period documentation for the piece. One of the photographs shows a \u003cb\u003e1912 advertisement\u003c\/b\u003e in which this same Holiday tray appears behind a Northwood Grape pattern whiskey set. The advertisement describes it as an \u003cb\u003e11-inch heavy crystal tray\u003c\/b\u003e, corresponding exactly with the size of this example. The advertisement is shown for historical reference only and is \u003cb\u003enot included\u003c\/b\u003e with the tray.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe centre of the tray is marked with Northwood's distinctive \u003cb\u003eunderlined N trademark\u003c\/b\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tray is in \u003cb\u003every good condition\u003c\/b\u003e, particularly considering its age and scarcity. There are some scratches to the centre, typical of a tray that saw some use, but these are not particularly noticeable under normal viewing. There is also a \u003cb\u003esmall impact chip to the interior edge of the rim\u003c\/b\u003e, shown in the close-up photograph. This is fairly minor and does not detract significantly from the appearance of the piece. There are also the occasional small bubbles and other characteristics from manufacture that are typical of early pressed glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGiven the scarcity of this particular Northwood form, these relatively minor condition issues should be considered in the context of a tray that has survived for more than a century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMaker:\u003c\/b\u003e Northwood Glass Company\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePattern:\u003c\/b\u003e Holiday\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eColour:\u003c\/b\u003e Marigold\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/b\u003e United States\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAge:\u003c\/b\u003e circa 1912\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMark:\u003c\/b\u003e Underlined N\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDiameter:\u003c\/b\u003e 11 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHeight at edge:\u003c\/b\u003e 1 inch\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn excellent addition for the \u003cb\u003eserious carnival glass collector\u003c\/b\u003e, and an unusual opportunity to acquire a documented Northwood Holiday tray in marigold.\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Poppy's Vintage Clothing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48064539885673,"sku":null,"price":295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0273\/1559\/files\/Northwood-Holiday-Tray.jpg?v=1789495326","url":"https:\/\/www.poppysvintageclothing.com\/de\/products\/northwood-holiday-marigold-carnival-glass-tray-1912","provider":"Poppy's Vintage Clothing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
