Rose Show, Northwood   Updated 12/14/2011

Without doubt, Rose Show and the similar Poppy Show are patterns most collectors would die for. Fortunately, there are enough (almost one percent of carnival items that sell at auction are Rose Show or Rose Show variant) that the only sacrifice may be a little cash. Although neither pattern has ever been found with a Northwood mark, the joint discovery by Karen McIntyre and Glen and Stephen Thistlewood of a Northwood ad showing these pieces has confirmed the maker. While Rose Show has not been reproduced, it is occasionally found in uniridized blue opal. Above are a plate in emerald green (green base glass with primarily blue iridescence) and an aqua opal bowl (a relatively easy color to find in bowls). Also see Rose Show variant.
