HARRY NORTHWOOD:  THE EARLY YEARS 1881-1900
by William Heacock, James Measell and Berry Wiggins, Antique Publications, IA, 1990.
Profusely illustrated in color and black-and-white, this in-depth book reviews the history and production of Northwood glass including the many types produced between 1881-1900.
This book details Harry Northwood’s glassmaking career from his immigration to America until his return to England in late 1899.  During this time, Northwood was affiliated with some of the most significant glass factories in the United States—Hobbs, Brockunier at Wheeling and the La Belle at Bridgeport—and he founded and managed several plants of his own.”  From the family albums and from old catalog illustrations, this volume tells the story of the Northwood Glass Co. during its first 20 years of production. Vases, pitchers, cruets, salt and pepper sets, plates, glasses and much more are shown in fine detail. The color photography is superb and depicts over 400 items with identifying captions. Any collector, curator, dealer, or appraiser of American art glass will find this an invaluable guide for understanding Northwood’s early production.
