Makers marks or trademarks are not often seen on Classic (old) Carnival Glass made in the United States, with the exception of the well-known N mark on many Northwood items. Look deeper though, and you might be surprised at just how many different marks on old Carnival there were all around the World .Harry Northwood was an artist as well as a highly talented glass maker – you can see his splendid signature under his photo on the left. There’s no doubt Harry was proud of his creations, and his actual signature appeared moulded on some of his early glass (not Carnival) – more of this below.
Northwood signed a lot of their Carnival Glass, using a moulded letter N underlined, in a circle. Sometimes that N mark is lightly moulded, which might give the impression that it is not underlined or in a circle – but look carefully.
