    Just picked this up today, and can't find it anywhere. I am thinking maybe Imperial as a lot of the glassware there was Imperial, but haven't found it in any books yet. Any ideas would be most helpful IMG_3261.JPG IMG_3262.JPG IMG_3263.JPG

    Look into Northwood Tree Trunk. I can't find my opalescent glass book at the moment, to check if it has been reproduced. Hopefully someone else has their copy handy.

    Here's a page that discusses the pattern - but carnival glass versions instead of opalescent. There's a link just below the text info that is a nice comparison of all the knobby bark / tree patterns from various makers (just FYI).

    Thanks for the help. Found a couple of other examples from Etsy and other sources attributing it to Northwood as well, saying it was an older design, probably the 1920's. Will dig further, but I think we have a winner. Did alright for $5.

    I am wondering if this is Jefferson glass? Not sure at all.

    I can see why you might wonder about Jefferson Glass. A number of items with this glass coloring, but I am confident that it is Northwood. Thanks all for the responses.

    Uncle Chuck is correct. Here is the info from "Opalescent Glass from A-Z" by Heacock as revised by Elmore.

    H. Northwood Co, named by Hartung, Opalescent, circa 1908. no known reproductions, usually signed with N in a circle.

    Since it says usually, one could assume unsigned pieces exist

    Nice to hear...Don't see an N on this one. I have a good place to start from now. Again, thanks to all who chimed in.
