Very Brief Background Information:
Thomas Dugan and his cousin, Harry C.  Northwood, started out as employees at the Hobbs-Brockunier glass company in Wheeling, West Virginia.  Eventually, Harry would form the Northwood Glass Company of Wheeling, West Virginia and Thomas would form the Dugan Glass Company of Indiana, Pennsylvania.  Both companies were kingpins (along with Fenton) of the carnival and opalescent glass market in the early 1900's.  Northwood closed its doors in 1925.  Dugan also closed its doors in the 1920s.
Condition:
This piece is in
very good condition
with no chips, cracks, or restorations.
The iridescence is a satin-silvery sheen.

There are, of course, the usual manufacturing facets to point out, e.g., the internal air bubbles and the straw marks and crimps (shearing tool marks), all commonly associated with the hand manufacturing of old opalescent, carnival, and EAPG.  No two pieces of old carnival glass are exactly alike.
... A very nice example of a favored Dugan pattern and a nice piece for the appreciator of fine EAPG, carnival and opalescent glass, be it Dugan, Northwood, Fenton, Jefferson, Cambridge, Millersburg, Westmoreland, Imperial, Sowerby, Brockwitz, Riihimaki, or others.
