I think Gwen Stebbins might find an answer if searching for Northwood instead of Steuben.

Hi Alan,
This was made by Harry Northwood at the Wheeling plant. It is his “Dancing Ladies” Urn in Ivory with a Nutmeg stain. It was made as the urn I have shown, a hanging lamp, and a table lamp by Northwood. This would have been produced ca. 1915-16. Within a short time after Northwood closed in 1925 Fenton acquired the mould and made a number of items based on it.
