We forgot to add - this pattern is (unsurprisingly) called "Good Luck" by today's collectors.

What a delightful story. This is a wonderful piece of (what is now) very collectible pressed glass, known as Carnival Glass. This piece, dating from 1909-1910, was made in the USA by Northwood Glass Company of West Virginia, whose owner was Harry Northwood, an Englishman. Many of these items were imported into the UK and people eagerly bought them.
