Very Brief Background on Northwood & Dugan.
Thomas Dugan and his cousin, Harry C. Northwood, started out in the 1880s as employees at the Hobbs-Brockunier Glass firm in Wheeling, West Virginia.  Eventually, Harry would form the
Northwood Glass Company
of Wheeling, West Virginia and Thomas would form the
Dugan Glass Company of Indiana, Pennsylvania
.  Both companies were kingpins of the carnival and opalescent glass market in the early 1900's.  Trading, swapping, or "borrowing" one another's glass moulds has been speculated.  Both Northwood and Dugan-Diamond Glass shut down in the mid-1920s.
Condition.
There is a very teeny flea bite on the rim (please see photo directly below).  There are no cracks, chips, or repairs.
{Above:  Very tiny "flea bite" on the rim.}
The
opalescence is very rich and fiery
.  A very beautiful piece!
... would look great alongside any Northwood, Dugan, Jefferson,  Millersburg, Fenton, Westmoreland, Sowerby, Riihimaki, Brockwitz, Imperial, Cambridge, Fostoria, or other antique glass from the makers of fine opalescent, carnival glass, and EAPG.
