- This is thought to be the bowl listed in this accession although rather than being "Westward Ho", it is the industry pattern. Both have a log cabin in the bowl and this is the only piece in the NHHS collection with a log cabin. Pattern also made by other glass houses, but vary in details.
From accession file: "This pattern, a frosted design in relief, depicting the log cabin of the pioneer, was designed by a German mold maker named Jocobus for Gillinder and Sons of Philadelphia shortly after the Centennial in 1876. It has also been called "Tippecanoe" and "Pioneer". - Credit Line:
