Artifact Overview
The Dugan and Northwood Glass Companies produced "Corn" vases in white, green, blue, and yellow with opalescent rims at the top. This unique vase was aimed at the lower end of the middle market. This type of mass-produced Art Glass is called "Carnival" glass today. This piece is unique among "Corn" vases as it appears to have been painted with a gold paint over the kernels.
