Opalescent Glass Bowl - Need Help Identifying - Fenton?

Can anybody help me identify the maker or the pattern name for this beautiful bowl.  No makers mark to be found on it and I can't find any on Ebay?  Thanks for any input you can provide.IMG_0190[2].JPGIMG_0187[1].JPGIMG_0188[2].JPGIMG_0191[1].JPGIMG_0189[1].JPG

Opalescent Glass Bowl - Need Help Identifying - Fenton?

The maker is Dugan Glass and the pattern is Double Stem Rose. This pattern is quite common in carnival glass and dates to the early 1900s. Here is a brief history of Dugan Glass complements of Glen Thistlewood carnival glass historian: The glass factory stated life in 1892 as the Indiana Glass Co. In the late 1890s, Harry Northwood leased and operated it as the Northwood Co. with Samuel Dugan Sr. and his sons Thomas (“Tom”) and Samuel Jr. The Dugan and Northwood families were related by marriage - Tom Dugan was Harry Northwood’s cousin, the two had emigrated from England to the USA in the same year, 1881, and both were master glassmakers. 

In the early 1900s the plant became part of the National Glass Co. and Harry Northwood returned to England. National Glass sold the factory in 1904 to Tom Dugan thus establishing the Dugan Glass Company where Tom, and another brother, Alfred, worked until 1913. After that date, the factory became the Diamond Glass-Ware Company (Alfred Dugan returned to work there but Tom did not).
