White GRAPE & CABLE Saucer - Cup - very scarce! - $375.

CUP & Saucer:  Rarely found in any of the known colors: marigold, amethyst, green, white and ice blue, the true saucer with edge turned up and a defined recessed circular center to accommodate the cup. Size of the saucer is 5”-6” diameter. Northwood introduced this extensive pattern having some 70 different shapes in 1910. Success of the overall pattern speaks well for the numbers which remain available for today’s collector. Actually, an entire book could be devoted to the scope of its variations.

CUP Whimsey/Nappy: Questions arise as to “who made the many deviations from the cup form?”………….AND, did ALL of them come from Northwood manufacture? Your guess is as good as anyone’s. We shall leave that to individual discretion. No matter the topic: issues are always divided right down the middle, aren’t they? (smile). We might present one question for consideration. Do you really believe that there is a factory-made creamer from the cup form? If so, why purchase a specific mold for creamer in the breakfast set??
We have observed sufficient “consumer altered” examples of bowls restructured into “plate forms” (some having tell-tale ruffled edges, clearly indicating the former “bowl stance”, to seriously question all “abnormal shapes”.) #1. It’s human nature to test the ability of others to define differences. #2. There are always those who will do most anything for “a $buck!”

Large COVERED COMPOTE:  These must have found steady use in homes. Not many available today, but with some effort a nice amethyst example can be found. It is the marigold examples which are very rare!

Covered SWEETMEAT Compote: Amethyst examples are not too difficult to locate, but marigold can be considered rare. Only one or two green examples are known!

GRAPE & CABLE Sweetmeat Whimsey in Purple.

SWEETMEAT Whimsey: This shape is not even mentioned in most written accounts? Could it be that the lid went missing and “someone” decided to “tinker a bit”, coming up with a “slightly flattened” base?............hmmmmmmmmm!! This one is amethyst………..are there others?


Dean & Diane Fry……9-10
Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you,
and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake.
Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven,
for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned?
It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men.
You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.
Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lamp-stand,
and it gives light to all who are in the house.
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your
good works and glorify your Father in heaven.
(Matthew  5: 11-16)
