The example displayed here is not trademarked in the base, although the tumblers each have the Northwood N in the bottom. Pictures are courtesy of Van Blarcum. The pitcher is 9 ½” tall x 6” across the top @ spout. Tumblers are 4” tall x 3” across the top.

SPRINGTIME Water Set:  Although this pattern was produced in Berry Set, Table Set and  Water Set, it remains one of the more difficult designs to locate. Production dates from 1910-1911, but must have been limited. Green water sets are more difficult to locate and other colors are amethyst and marigold. Configuration of this water set is identical to that of the Singing Birds set.

RASPBERRY Water Set:  A Spring 1911 Butler Bros. Catalog Ad advertises this set. They are fairly easy to locate today, so production must have been abundant. Marigold, amethyst, green, cobalt blue, white, ice blue and ice green are available. A water pitcher in vivid lime green shade has also been found. There is a 7 1/8th in. milk pitcher known. The water pitchers are 9” tall.

ROSE SHOW Bowl:  These ruffled 8”-9” bowls are desirable in any color. A 1912-1914 production item, it is believed to be an item made by Northwood for George Mortimer.

Marigold, amethyst, green, cobalt blue, white, ice blue, ice green, aqua opalescent, lime green, ice blue opalescent, ice green opalescent, horehound, aqua, sapphire blue, powder blue opalescent, and marigold on custard are all desirable and admired by collectors.

PEACOCK @ FOUNTAIN Berry Sets:  A Spring 1912 Butler Brothers catalog ad displays the table set, berry set and water set. That same ad continued to appear with an ever-increasing wholesale price through 1917, indicating the popularity of each grouping. Most often seen in marigold and amethyst, cobalt blue and white are considered scarce. The ice blue and ice green are not often found and green is considered the rarest of colors!                                                                                                                  


Dean & Diane Fry, Oct. 2014


For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
From whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,
That He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory,
 to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man,
that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love,
may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height…..
to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think,
according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever.
Amen
(Ephesians 3:14-21)
