Classic Era CARNIVAL GLASS Maker Marks Northwood The underlined "N" in a circle is the most 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 it. Generally it's a good guide to the authenticity of a piece, but bear in mind that Wright issued several patterns (primarily the Grape and Cable butter dish and Grape Delight nut bowl) with the mark.
Imperial Iron Cross Mark Very few pieces of Imperial Carnival Glass were marked in any way. This Iron Cross mark appears on some stretch glass, primarily Imperial Jewels, and a few Carnial patterns. Carnival patterns for which I have occasional listings showing this mark are Chesterfield, Colonial (Flute), Imperial Grape, Optic and Buttons, Pillar Flute, Smooth Panels vases, and
Waffle Block. Imperial NUART Mark The NUART mark is found primarily on some, but not all, examples of the Chrysanthemum and Homestead chop plates. The examples with the mark are generally more desirable. The mark is also seen on the Imperial Paperweight, along with the similar NUCUT mark and the Iron Cross mark.
Cambridge NEAR CUT Mark The NEAR CUT mark is always found in capital letters with "NEAR" above "CUT." Mostly seen on some, but not all, Inverted Strawberry pieces, it is also found, rarely, on Double Star, Inverted Feather and Inverted Thistle items.
Heisey Mark The Heisey mark consists of a capital "H" in a diamond. It was registered in 1901 although first used in 1900. Heisey produced very little Carnival Glass.

Contemporary CARNIVAL GLASS 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," "V," and "G," stacked vertically.
Imperial Marks Devised in 1951, Imperial used this mark on their glass until 1972. The mark has a capital "G" superimposed over a stylized letter "I."
In 1972, Lenox purchased Imperial. As a result, they added the letter "L" to the mark. 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.
6 | P a g e
In 1982, the company was sold to Robert Stahl. He devised a new mark with a capital "N" 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 item made as Mr. Stahl declared bankruptcy in 1984.
St. Clair Marks A number of the family members of the St. Clair clan made Carnival 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 mark is typical of theirs.
Westmoreland WG Mark According to Lorraine Kovar in her book, The Westmoreland Story, the mark with intertwined "W" and "G" was used after the 1940s. However, just because a piece has this mark doesn't mean it dates from this period: Westmoreland molds have been passed along to other glass makers who are not always diligent about removing the mark.
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 apparently represent a stylized "W." Production ended in early 1984.
Westmoreland used paper labels on much of their glass, but these can be misleading as rolls of stickers were available long after production ended. L.G. Wright "N" Mark Wright produced several patterns in Carnival glass using the original Northwood mark. This one is from an ice blue Grape Delight nut bowl (which was a Dugan pattern, not Northwood). The American Carnival Glass Association filed suit, prohibiting Wright from using the Northwood mark. The ACGA now owns the mark.
7 | P a g e
L.G. Wright Modified "N" Mark After being forbidden from using the Northwood mark, Wright apparently fudged, and simply put a small tail on the left-side vertical bar of the "N," making it a sort of crooked "W." These marks are still found on Wright glass from that era.
L.G. Wright Current Mark L.G. Wright now uses a mark that is clearly a "W." It still has the underline, but slightly curved up at the ends. The "W" has short bars at the ends.
Mosser Mark The capital "M" within an irregular outline (presumably representing the state of Ohio) is for Mosser, of Cambridge, Ohio.
Rosso Mark Rosso mostly sells glass made by others, but 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 made of the Farmyard pattern that were similar to Dugan's original. They sold crimped-edge plates and bowls to collectors. The glass was actually made by Fenton. Singleton Bailey later bought the mold and appended his initials "DBS."
8 | P a g e
Summit Mark The mark consists of a "V" in a circle. The "V" stands for the name of the owner, Russ Vogelsong.
Smith Mark A capital "S" with smaller "G" and "C" within the loops, standing for Smith Glass Company. The mark is also found without the smaller "G" 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 factory.
Boyd Marks Boyd began with a capital letter "B" within a diamond, then added lines to the bottom, top, and sides to designate different production periods.
Guernsey Mark The capital "B" in the triangle stands for the owner of Guernsey Glass Company, Harold Bennett.
9 | P a g e
Gibson Mark Gibson not only embosses its name onto many of the pieces it makes, but also includes the date. That's a practice I'd like to see other contemporary glass makers follow.
Weishar Mark This mark is pretty obvious as it has the word WEISHAR underneath a large "W" within the shape of the state of West Virginia.
Mirror Images Mark Apparently the company owned some old Westmoreland molds and had Viking produce them in the 1980s.

POTTERY

HULL POTTERY – MARKS & STAMPS
The Hull pottery company was conceived by Addis Hull and began production in Crooksville, Ohio in 1905. By the 20's they had a warehouse in New Jersey, showroom in NY and offices in Chicago & Detroit. In 1930 Addis died. The business was taken over and run by his son Addis Jr. untill 1937. After Addis Jr. left Gerald Watt was responsible for the companies direction. In 1950 the plant was destroyed, not only by a fire but a flood that preceded it. Operations were resumed in 1952. Over the years Hull Pottery produced many different types of wares and enjoyed profitability intill the 1980's. In 1986, due to foreign competition and labor strikes, Hull pottery shuttered their doors.

FRANKOMA – MARKS & STAMPS
John Frank started his pottery business in 1933 in Norman, Oklahoma where he worked as ceramic art director for OK University. His objective was to make fine art pieces that everyday people could afford. The Frankoma name was coined a year later and is a combination of his surname and the last three letters of the state where the potter was located. In 1938 the business was moved to Sapulpa, just outside of Tulsa. In a few short months everything was destroyed by fire, which was a common problem of potteries in those days. The Franks rebuilt. In 1942 they began producing the "Southwestern" dinnerware line that would become a signature representation of the company’s fine work.

ROSEVILLE – MARKS & STAMPS
The company was founded by J. Weaver / George Young in Roseville, Ohio in 1890. Early on, the business successfully produced and sold strictly utilitarian items like pots and crocks. By 1898, Roseville had purchased Midland Pottery and Clark Stoneware Company, and moved operations to Zanesville, OH. Around 1900, in order to stay competitive in a changing market, Roseville released their first line of art pottery & obtained two more manufacturing facilities. Over the years many popular lines such as pinecone, sunflower and blackberry were created. However, after WWII sales began to decline and continued downward until the company was sold to the Mosaic Tile Co. in 1954. Today, Roseville pottery is extensively sought after by enthusiastic collectors.

McCOY POTTERY – MARKS & STAMPS
McCoy Pottery Company was founded in 1899 by James McCoy in Roseville, Ohio. In 1910, J.W. and his son Nelson created Nelson McCoy Sanitary Stoneware Company. They created mostly utilitarian pieces like jugs, crocks and jars. Due to their popularity & profitability, in the 1920's they expanded and began making artistic works in addition to the standard pieces. During the depression, the business joined a five company co-op to survive. Around 1933, the company became the Nelson McCoy Co. Later during WWII, McCoy was contracted by the US government to produce landmines for the war effort. From 1940-1960 McCoy produced more works than any other American pottery company.

ROOKWOOD – MARKS & STAMPS Rookwood was the first female run manufacturing facility in the United States and production was begun in 1880. Joseph Longworth, a wealthy real estate tycoon, financed his daughter Maria's vision to own & run a pottery that could compete with the finest pottery makers from around the world. The name Rookwood was taken from the name of the family’s estate in Cincinnati. Just four years after opening, the worst flood in history destroyed the clay, kilns and molds. The operation was quickly restored and innovation followed. The creativity of the artisans was unparalleled, partly attributed to the management who reiterated that the environment was that of an artist studio, not a factory.

UK SILVER MAKERS & MARKS
The hallmarking of British sterling silver is based on a combination of marks that makes possible the identification of origin and age of each piece. The silver assay marks are:
Town mark, corresponding to the mark of the Assay Office that has verified the piece
Lion passant guardant or Britannia or lion's head erased, certifying the silver quality
Maker's mark, identifying the silversmith presenting the piece to the assay office (usually the initials of Christian name and surname of the silversmith)
British and English silver date letters hallmarking system, in cycles of twenty letters of the alphabet of different shape identifies the year in which the piece was verified by the Assay Office
A further mark was used in the period 1784 - 1890: Sovereign head ('duty mark'), certifying the payment of the duty

International Silver Company and its factories were active in the whole Meriden-Wallingford area becoming possibly the larger center for silver craftsmanship in the US. The peak of the production was reached in the 1930s. The production of sterling hollowware continued until 1976 while the silver plated hollowware business was sold to Oneida Silversmiths in 1981.

Antiques – The Definition
The common definition of antique is a collectible object such as a piece of furniture or work of art that has a high value because of its considerable age, yet it does in fact vary depending on the source, product, and year. Motor vehicles are an exception to the 100-year rule. The customary definition of antique requires that an item be at least 100 years old and in original, unaltered condition—which excludes most cars. Therefore, cars are generally considered antique if 25 years old or more. (Cars can be registered as "classic" when 20 years old.) This is not a universally accepted idea, but rather a convention among car collectors and enthusiasts.
In the United States, the 1930 Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act defined antiques as, "...works of art, collections in illustration of the progress of the arts, works in bronze, marble, terra cotta, parian, pottery, or porcelain, artistic antiquities and objects of ornamental character or educational value which shall have been produced prior to the year 1830." 1830 was the approximate beginning of mass production in the United States. These definitions were intended to allow people of that time to distinguish between genuine antique pieces, vintage items, and collectible objects.
The alternative term, antiquities. commonly refers to the remains of ancient art and everyday items from antiquity, which themselves are often archaeological artifacts. An antiquarian is a person who collects and studies antiquities or things of the past.
Antiques are usually objects that show some degree of craftsmanship—or a certain attention to design, such as a desk or an early automobile. They are bought at antique shops, estate sales, auction houses, online auctions, and other venues, or estate inherited. Antique dealers often belong to national trade associations, many of which belong to CINOA, a confederation of art and antique associations across 21 countries that represents 5,000 dealers.

COLLECTABLES – The Definition
A collectable or collectible (aka collector's item) is any object regarded as being of value or interest to a collector (not necessarily monetarily valuable or antique). There are numerous types of collectables and terms to denote those types. An antique is a collectable that is old. A curio is a small, usually fascinating or unusual item sought after by collectors.
A "manufactured" collectable (often referred to as a contemporary collectable) is an item made specifically for people to collect. The terms special edition, limited edition and variants such as deluxe edition, collector's edition and others, fall under the category of manufactured collectable and are used as a marketing incentive for various kinds of products, originally published products related to the arts, such as books, prints or recorded music and films, but now including cars, fine wine and other collectables. A limited edition is restricted is extra material of some kind included. Some companies that produce manufactured collectables are members of The Gift and Collectibles Guild.
Manufacturers and retailers have used collectables in a number of ways to increase sales. One use is in the form of licensed collectables based on intellectual properties, such as images, characters and logos from literature, music, movies, radio, television, and video games. A large subsection of licensing includes advertising, brand name, and character collectibles. Another use of collectables in retail is in the form of prizes (items of nominal value packaged with or included in the price of a retail product at no additional cost) and premiums (items that can be "purchased" by redeeming coupons, boxtops, or proofs of purchase from the product along with a small fee to cover shipping and handling). Also, collectables have played an important role in tourism, in the form of souvenirs. Another important field of collecting that is also big business is memorabilia, which includes collectables related to a person, organization, event or media, including t-shirts, posters, and numerous other collectables marketed to fans; but also includes ephemera from historical, media, or entertainment events, items that were meant to be thrown away but were saved by fans and accumulated by collectors.
Collectables are also items of limited supply that are sought for a variety of reasons including a possible increase in value. In a financial sense, collectables can be viewed as a hedge against inflation. Over time, their value can also increase as they become rarer due to loss, damage or destruction. One drawback to investing in collectables is the potential lack of liquidity, particularly for very obscure items.

WHAT IS FASHION DESIGN?
Fashion design is the art of the application of design and aesthetics or natural beauty to clothing and accessories. Fashion design is influenced by cultural and social latitudes, and has varied over time and place. Fashion designers work in a number of ways in designing clothing and accessories such as bracelets and necklace, because of the time required to bring a garment onto the market, must at times anticipate changing consumer tastes.
Fashion designers attempt to design clothes which are functional as well as aesthetically pleasing. They must consider who is likely to wear a garment and the situations in which it will be worn. They have a wide range and combinations of materials to work with and a wide range of colors, patterns and styles to choose from. Though most clothing worn for everyday wear falls within a narrow range of conventional styles, unusual garments are usually sought for special occasions such as evening wear or party dresses.
Some clothes are made specifically for an individual, as in the case of haute couture or bespoke tailoring. Today, most clothing is designed for the mass market, especially casual and every-day wear.
Fashion today is a global industry, and most major countries have a fashion industry. China and Bangladesh are the biggest manufacturers of fashion industry. Other notable manufacturing countries are Germany, Indonesia, Malaysia, India, Philippines, South Korea, Spain, and Brazil.
Seven countries have established themselves with an international reputation in fashion: France, Italy, Germany, the United Kingdom, the United States, Japan, and Belgium.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE CAMERA
A camera is an optical instrument that records images that can be stored directly, transmitted to another location, or both. These images may be still photographs or moving images such as videos or movies. The term camera comes from the word camera obscura (Latin for "dark chamber"), an early mechanism for projecting images. The modern camera evolved from the camera obscura. The functioning of camera is very similar to the functioning of the human eye.
A camera may work with the light of the visible spectrum or with other portions of the electromagnetic spectrum. A still camera is an optical device which creates a single image of an object or scene, and records it on an electronic sensor or photographic film. All cameras use the same basic design: light enters an enclosed box through a converging lens and an image is recorded on a light-sensitive medium. A shutter mechanism controls the length of time that light can enter the camera. Most photographic cameras have functions that allow a person to view the scene to be recorded, allow for a desired part of the scene to be in focus, and to control the exposure so that it is not too bright or too dim. A data display, often a liquid crystal display (LCD), permits the user to view settings such as film speed, exposure, and shutter speed.
A film or video camera operates similarly to a still camera, except it records a series of static images in rapid succession, commonly at a rate of 24 frames per second. When the images are combined and displayed in order, the illusion of motion is achieved.

THE ARTS
Art is a diverse range of human activities and the products of those activities; this article focuses primarily on the visual arts, which includes the creation of images or objects in fields including painting, sculpture, printmaking, photography, and other visual media. Architecture is often included as one of the visual arts; however, like the decorative arts, it involves the creation of objects where the practical considerations of use are essential—in a way that they usually are not in a painting, for example. Music, theatre, film, dance, and other performing arts, as well as literature and other media such as interactive media, are included in a broader definition of art or the arts. Until the 17th century, art referred to any skill or mastery and was not differentiated from crafts or sciences. In modern usage after the 17th century, where aesthetic considerations are paramount, the fine arts are separated and distinguished from acquired skills in general, such as the decorative or applied arts.
Art may be characterized in terms of mimesis (its representation of reality), expression, communication of emotion, or other qualities. During the Romantic period, art came to be seen as "a special faculty of the human mind to be classified with religion and science". Though the definition of what constitutes art is disputed and has changed over time, general descriptions mention an idea of imaginative or technical skill stemming from human agency and creation.[7]
The nature of art, and related concepts such as creativity and interpretation, are explored in a branch of philosophy known as aesthetics. The nature of art has been described by philosopher Richard Wollheim as "one of the most elusive of the traditional problems of human culture". Art has been defined as a vehicle for the expression or communication of emotions and ideas, a means for exploring and appreciating formal elements for their own sake, and as mimesis or representation. Art as mimesis has deep roots in the philosophy of Aristotle. Leo Tolstoy identified art as a use of indirect means to communicate from one person to another. Benedetto Croce and R.G. Collingwood advanced the idealist view that art expresses emotions, and that the work of art therefore essentially exists in the mind of the creator.
