No, it's not Northwood. It was made at the Canning Town Glass Co. in England. It is known as the Thistle vase. In marigold it is seen rather frequently, however it can be found in smoke Carnival, which is exceptionally rare indeed. It is also known in a tiny, miniature version (in marigold) which is also exceptionally rare.

You can see the Thistle vase here on my website - with the original mould that it was made from:
