LEAF & BEADS: First offered in non-iridized opalescent colors in the 1906 Northwood factory catalog. 1908-1909 iridized production, extending to some iridized colors which Northwood did not introduce until the 1919-1920 era, confirms that this pattern was a popular seller in its day. These are three footed rose bowls, some having scalloped top with plain or rayed interior, others with sunflower interior, one with beaded top and another with smooth top.
Scalloped top-plain or rayed interior: marigold, amethyst, green, aqua, cobalt blue, white, ice blue, ice green, aqua opalescent, russet, sapphire blue, teal, smoke, lavender, Renninger blue, ice blue opal, ice green opal and lime green opal.
Sunflower interior:  marigold, amethyst, green, russet, sapphire blue, teal.
Smooth top: marigold, amethyst, green, pearlized custard.
A footed nutbowl, footed and ruffled bowl, dome-footed bowl and a green dome-footed 9” plate are additional shapes in the pattern.

WILD ROSE: This early pattern appeared in wholesale catalogs during the 1908-1909 timeframe, having been carried over from the previous 1905 -1906 opalescent production period. Production extended through 1912, since cobalt blue and ice blue examples are known. Three different interior patterns are known: Plain, a variation of Stippled Rays, or have a design comprised of alternating stippled and non-stippled rays. The Stippled Rays variant is a single-known sapphire blue rosebowl with reticulated edge-widely flared, offering alternating stippled and smooth panels.
