Embroidered Mums, Northwood   Updated 3/24/2008    More



This ruffled bowl in aqua opal sold at the 2006 Heart of America Carnival Glass Association convention auction. It brought $15,000. Photo courtesy Jim Wroda Auctions.

Northwood's Embroidered Mums pattern has stitchery details with six chrysanthemums in a ring. It has about the same design density as Northwood's Hearts and Flowers pattern, so make sure you check for the mums. Most pieces have the ribbed back, but a few have a plain exterior. I know of no ice cream shaped bowls. Pie-crust-edged bowls are rare in this pattern.
