Art Glass Candy Dish With G Symbol on Bottom

Classic Era Maker Marks
	Northwood The underlined "N" in a circle is the nigh frequently seen mark in classic era Carnival. Not all Northwood patterns carry the mark, and in some patterns that do carry the mark, not all pieces may have information technology. Mostly it's a good guide to the authenticity of a piece, just conduct in mind that Wright issued several patterns (primarily the Grape and Cable butter dish and Grape Delight nut bowl) with the marker. They were later on forced to modify the marker. The absence or presence of the mark makes little difference in the value or desirability.
	Purple Fe Cross Marking Very few pieces of Imperial Carnival Glass were marked in whatever way. This Iron Cross marking appears on some stretch glass, primarily Imperial Jewels, and a few Carnial patterns. Carnival patterns for which I take occasional listings showing this marker are Chesterfield, Colonial (Flute), Imperial Grape, Optic and Buttons, Pillar Flute, Smooth Panels vases, and Waffle Cake.
	Royal NUART Mark The NUART mark is plant primarily on some, but not all, examples of the Chrysanthemum and Homestead chop plates. The examples with the marking are generally more desirable. The mark is also seen on the Imperial Paperweight, forth with the like NUCUT mark and the Fe Cross marking.
	Dugan/Diamond Mark Dugan/Diamond signed very few of their pieces. This one is from a white Wreathed Blood-red butter dish, courtesy of Greg Dilian. Larry Keig says that all Wreathed Cherry butter dishes are signed.
	Cambridge NEAR CUT Mark The NEAR Cutting mark is always found in majuscule letters with "NEAR" in a higher place "CUT." Mostly seen on some, just not all, Inverted Strawberry pieces, it is also plant, rarely, on Double Star, Inverted Feather and Inverted Thistle items.
	Heisey Mark The Heisey mark consists of a capital letter "H" in a diamond. Information technology was registered in 1901 although starting time used in 1900. Heisey produced very piffling Carnival Drinking glass.
	United states of america Glass Mark This marking consists of an intertwined capital U and S. Found on relatively few examples of U.s.a. carnival glass.
Contemporary Maker Marks
	Fenton Marks When Fenton introduced its lines or reissued Carnival Glass in 1970, they marked the glass with an oval with the word "Fenton" in script inside. In 1980, they reduced the size of the mark and included a numeral designating the decade ("8" for 1980s, "9" for 1990s, "0" for 2000).
	For patterns made from molds bought from other glass makers, Fenton uses a script "F" within a vertical oval.
	OVG (Olde Virginia Glass, Fenton) In 1971, Fenton added Carnival items to it's Olde Virginia Glass line. These are marked with the capital letters "O," "Five," and "One thousand," stacked vertically.
	Imperial Marks Devised in 1951, Imperial used this mark on their glass until 1972. The mark has a upper-case letter "1000" superimposed over a stylized letter "I."
	In 1972, Lenox purchased Imperial. As a consequence, they added the letter of the alphabet "Fifty" to the marking. This was used until 1981. In 1981, the company was sold to Arthur Lorch, who added a slanted capital "A" the mark, forming "ALIG." This mark was used during 1981 and 1982.
	In 1982, the company was sold to Robert Stahl. He devised a new marker with a capital "Northward" superimposed over the stylized "I," which stood for New Imperial. I've only seen this mark on a Santa Bell, which may have been the only detail made equally Mr. Stahl declared bankruptcy in 1984.
	St. Clair Marks A number of the family members of the St. Clair clan fabricated Funfair Glass. Joe signed his in a number of ways which included just St. Clair or JST.C. The Bob (Joe's younger brother) and Maude marker is typical of theirs.
	Westmoreland WG Marker Co-ordinate to Lorraine Kovar in her book, The Westmoreland Story, the mark with intertwined "W" and "Thousand" was used after the 1940s. However, just because a piece has this mark doesn't mean it dates from this flow: Westmoreland molds have been passed along to other drinking glass makers who are not always diligent about removing the marking.
	Westmoreland Grossman Mark In 1981, David Grossman bought Westmoreland. He devised a new mark with the word "WESTMORELAND" in a circle around three vertical bars that obviously represent a stylized "West." Production ended in early on 1984. Westmoreland used paper labels on much of their glass, but these can exist misleading as rolls of stickers were available long after product concluded.
	50.1000. Wright "Northward" Marker Wright produced several patterns in Carnival drinking glass using the original Northwood mark. This one is from an ice bluish Grape Please nut bowl (which was a Dugan pattern, not Northwood). The American Carnival Glass Clan filed suit, prohibiting Wright from using the Northwood mark. The ACGA now owns the mark.
	L.Grand. Wright Modified "Due north" Mark After being forbidden from using the Northwood marker, Wright apparently fudged, and simply put a modest tail on the left-side vertical bar of the "Northward," making it a sort of kleptomaniacal "Westward." These marks are withal constitute on Wright glass from that era.
	L.M. Wright Current Marker L.G. Wright now uses a mark that is clearly a "W." Information technology still has the underline, just slightly curved up at the ends. The "W" has brusk bars at the ends.
	Mosser Marker The upper-case letter "1000" within an irregular outline (presumably representing the state of Ohio) is for Mosser, of Cambridge, Ohio.
	Rosso Mark Rosso mostly sells glass fabricated by others, simply a few of their pieces are marked--some with the plain capital "R" shown here and some with the "R" within a keystone shape.
	MIMI Mark In the 1970s, Richard Stone and his wife, Mimi, had molds fabricated of the Farmyard pattern that were like to Dugan's original. They sold crimped-edge plates and bowls to collectors. The glass was actually made by Fenton. Singleton Bailey subsequently bought the mold and appended his initials "DBS."
	Pinnacle Mark The marker consists of a "V" in a circle. The "Five" stands for the proper noun of the possessor, Russ Vogelsong.
	Smith Mark A capital "S" with smaller "G" and "C" inside the loops, continuing for Smith Glass Company. The mark is also found without the smaller "Chiliad" and "C."
	Degenhart Mark An elegant mark with a capital letter "D" within a heart shape. When Elizabeth Degenhart died in 1978, Boyd took over the manufacturing plant.
	Boyd Marks Boyd began with a capital letter "B" inside a diamond, and then added lines to the bottom, tiptop, and sides to designate different product periods.
	Guernsey Mark The capital "B" in the triangle stands for the possessor of Guernsey Glass Company, Harold Bennett.
	Gibson Marker Gibson not but embosses its name onto many of the pieces information technology makes, but also includes the engagement. That'due south a do I'd similar to encounter other gimmicky glass makers follow.
	Weishar Marking This mark is pretty obvious equally information technology has the give-and-take WEISHAR underneath a large "W" inside the shape of the land of West Virginia.
	Mirror Images Mark Apparently the company owned some old Westmoreland molds and had Viking produce them in the 1980s.
