Thomas Dugan
was Harry Northwood's cousin. The Dugan Glass Company was born when, in 1904, Dugan and his associates bought Harry Northwood's old Indiana, Pennsylvania plant, from which Northwood had moved in 1901. The company changed hands in 1913 to become the Diamond Glass Company and remained thus until the factory burned to the ground in 1931. Diamond Glass continued many Dugan patterns, so attribution is often listed as Dugan/Diamond.
Excellent Undamaged Antique Condition
means that while a
listed
item has no post-production damage such as chips or cracks,
it may have discernible minor wear from usage and/or nesting (stacking)
. This wear will be mentioned and/or highlighted with its own photo if
extreme
. Whether minor or extreme, it will be in the photos. In my opinion, there are very, very few pieces of Carnival Glass that don't have an imperfection of some sort, whether from production or use.
Production conditions in the early 1900s were dirty and dangerous; there was no "Quality Control" as we know it now. Issues resultant from these conditions include:
Air bubbles
in the glass that were not squeezed out during pressing.
Heat checks
which are internal rifts filled with air (which is why you can see them), usually from a burst air bubble.
Inclusions
in or on the surface of the glass, such as ash and cinders. Often found in the flames of vases and rims of bowls were it settled during pressing.
Strands
of undissolved colorant (usually in green glass).
Straw marks
which are lines
in the glass caused by premature solidification where the molten glass was
snipped from the gathering rod with cool metal shears when the mould was full; lines also formed on the surface during the cooling process.
Tool marks
from implements used to form the edge or influence the shape.
Mold issues
related to filling and release such as incomplete or malformed edges,
rough seams, extra glass at seams; webbed, incomplete or pulled edge points.
Cooling issues
such as
uneven legs, slanted stems or a bowed base (causing rocking), surface lines and heat checks.
Production issues may be undesirable in the extreme, but they do not qualify as "damage" and will be found to some degree on nearly all antique glassware. Issues of wear will be left to your discretion.
Combined Shipping
