Northwood Grape & Cable Aqua Opal Standard Size Punch Bowl Set - The Top Rarity of All Time!
Description
In the fall of 1996, we received a call from Tom Burns. He said he had just purchased an aqua opal Grape & Cable small size punch bowl and five cups. It had been found in Indiana, Pennsylvania.
He asked if we would be interested buying it. We agreed to meet him, Bill Richards, and Billy in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. We were excited to see how beautiful it really was and thrilled to be able to have a chance to own it.
Note: This top rarity in the Carnival Glass World was featured in the Bill Edwards/Milke Carwile book titled "Best of the Best" Identification Guide to Rare & Unusual Pieces (shown next to the last photo) many years ago.
David Doty reports there is only one known set. This ONE!
