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. 5 | P a g e 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. 10 | P a g e SECTION 2 POTTERY 11 | P a g e 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. Continental-vase Corky-pigs Hull-mark Pedestal-vase Pinecone-vase Red-riding-hood Seashore-sugar Wildflower-vase 12 | P a g e 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.

  • Phase Evolution of Ancient and Historical Ceramics
    EMU Notes in Mineralogy, Vol. 20 (2019), Chapter 6, 233–281 The struggle between thermodynamics and kinetics: Phase evolution of ancient and historical ceramics 1 2 ROBERT B. HEIMANN and MARINO MAGGETTI 1Am Stadtpark 2A, D-02826 Go¨rlitz, Germany [email protected] 2University of Fribourg, Dept. of Geosciences, Earth Sciences, Chemin du Muse´e6, CH-1700 Fribourg, Switzerland [email protected] This contribution is dedicated to the memory of Professor Ursula Martius Franklin, a true pioneer of archaeometric research, who passed away at her home in Toronto on July 22, 2016, at the age of 94. Making ceramics by firing of clay is essentially a reversal of the natural weathering process of rocks. Millennia ago, potters invented simple pyrotechnologies to recombine the chemical compounds once separated by weathering in order to obtain what is more or less a rock-like product shaped and decorated according to need and preference. Whereas Nature reconsolidates clays by long-term diagenetic or metamorphic transformation processes, potters exploit a ‘short-cut’ of these processes that affects the state of equilibrium of the system being transformed thermally. This ‘short-cut’ is thought to be akin to the development of mineral-reaction textures resulting from disequilibria established during rapidly heated pyrometamorphic events (Grapes, 2006) involving contact aureoles or reactions with xenoliths. In contrast to most naturally consolidated clays, the solidified rock-like ceramic material inherits non-equilibrium and statistical states best described as ‘frozen-in’. The more or less high temperatures applied to clays during ceramic firing result in a distinct state of sintering that is dependent on the firing temperature, the duration of firing, the firing atmosphere, and the composition and grain-size distribution of the clay.

  • Antiquities Were One of the Most Important Elements of the Collection That Mr
    DATE: March 12, 2007 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE COLLECTIONS ART FROM THE ANCIENT WORLD IS INSTALLED BY THEME IN RENOVATED GALLERIES AT THE GETTY VILLA LOS ANGELES—The J. Paul Getty Museum’s permanent collection of Greek, Roman, and Etruscan antiquities will be installed at the Getty Villa in galleries that are now organized by theme for easier accessibility. These groupings of objects will shed light on different aspects of life in the ancient world: from sports to religion, family, war, theater, and more. This approach enables visitors to easily view the artworks in the context of their use in classical societies, encouraging a deeper understanding of the period. Over 1,200 objects will be on view, out of approximately 44,000 in the Getty’s antiquities collection. The works will be presented in 23 galleries, with an additional six galleries devoted to changing and loan exhibitions that will allow for the presentation of focused shows, often featuring materials on loan from other institutions. These exhibitions may also incorporate works from the special collections of the Research Library at the Getty Research Institute (GRI) and reflect the scholarly activities of the Museum, the GRI, and the Getty Conservation Institute. Other highlights of the Museum include the Family Forum, a hands-on space for families filled with fun activities that encourage shared learning and discovery; and -more- Page 2 the TimeScape Room, a permanent installation that explores time, place, and artistic style in the ancient Mediterranean through interactive exhibits. FLOOR 1 GALLERIES Terracotta and Marble Vessels Ancient artisans shaped terracotta and marble to imitate the shapes and decorative schemes of vessels fashioned from metal, including precious gold, silver, and bronze.

Where the movement in the early days is referred to as 'Studio Pottery' due to its focus on functional vessels and 'pots', the name of 'Studio Ceramics' now refers broadly to include work by artists and designers that may be more conceptual or sculptural rather than functional. As an artistic movement Studio Ceramics has a peculiar history. It is a history that includes changes in artistic and public taste, developments in art historical terms and small and very individual stories of artists and potters.

  • Ephemera Journal Vol 18 Issue 2
    THE EPHEMERA JOURNAL VOLUME 18, NUMBER 2 JANUARY 2016 Bicycle Trade Catalogs BY TALIA S. COUTIN Before the ‘Bicycle Boom’ the bicycle was a luxury item with limited reach but, by 1896, America was home to an estimated four million “wheelmen” and “wheelwomen.” How and why did bicycles take the country by storm? The ‘Golden Age of the Bicycle’ coincided with the ‘Golden Age of Advertising Art.’ Austin Charles Bates, a pioneering adman of the time, estimated that bicycle firms spent more than one billion dollars in 1897. “And yet it paid,” he wrote. “Everyone was bicycle crazy...” Images of wheelmen and wheelwomen appeared everywhere in print, including on products that had nothing to do with bicycling. They graced posters and postcards, magazine covers and cigarette labels, sheet music and card decks – advertising bicycling, if not a particular bicycle brand. Through trade catalogs, companies tried to distinguish their brands with clever copy and alluring graphic designs. Companies spoke directly to consumers, offering them commercial art they could keep. Examining the material, visual, and textual aspects of catalogs from two of America’s leading bicycle manufacturers, the Overman Wheel Company and the Pope Manufacturing Company, reveals how advertising strategies developed between 1881 and 1899 to whet the consumer appetite for bicycles. A beautiful nymph with spaghetti hair gazes behind a screen in a wildly verdant setting that has nothing to do with bicycles. The competing linear and the curvilinear elements define the unique Art Nouveau style of graphic artist Will H. Bradley, who also designed posters for the Overman Wheel Co.
