Although some have thought that chestnuts are realistically depicted on this Northwood pattern, they are actually a type of acorn called Bur Oak Acorns. And thus this pattern has correctly become known by the name Acorn Burrs. The pattern is found in water sets, punch sets, tables sets, and berry sets, mostly in amethyst/purple, green, and marigold, although the punch sets are known in aqua opal, ice blue, ice green, and lime green as well. Blue punch cups are known. In addition tumblers have been found in other colors including vaseline and white. |
