Peacock at the Fountain - Northwood & Dugan
Peacock at the Fountain is highly collectible due to the number of shapes and colors available. Both Northwood and Dugan made the pattern. However, Dugan's only shape made is the pitcher and tumbler and Dugan's water set is typically in blue. In the photo above in the center, the tumbler on the left is the Northwood version and has less detail than the Dugan version on the right. While Northwood items may have the "N" logo, not all are marked.

Dugan's water set is found mostly in blue but also in amethyst and marigold. Northwood's Peacock at the Fountain pieces can be found in several colors. Typical colors for Northwood pieces include amethyst, blue, ice blue, marigold, white and green. However, some shapes can be found in rarer colors. Compotes are also found in aqua opal and ice green. Punch sets are also found in ice green and lime green, as well as, a very rare aqua opal. Fruit bowls do not seem to be found in the pastel colors of ice blue, ice green and white, but are found in aqua opal, sapphire and renninger blue on rare occasion.

Northwood made several other shapes other than the water sets including this four piece berry set shown to the right. Berry sets consist of one large bowl and six small individual bowls. These are typical shapes for the berry bowls. The small berry has less detail than the large one and has no peacock at all.

Large fruit bowls is another Nothwood shape made in the pattern. Both of the bowls on the left were made from the same mold. On the left is a typically shaped fruit or orange bowl, but in the rare aqua opal. In the center is the rare rosebowl with the sides cupped in at the top. Both are courtesy of Don and Becky Hamlet. On the far right is a fruit bowl in a rare sapphire.
The pattern also comes in a four piece table set consisting of a covered sugar, creamer, covered butter, and a spooner. The butter base is shared with the Singing Birds pattern. In all pieces of the Peacock at the Fountain pattern, the single peacock faces to the left toward the fountain except for the compotes where the peacock faces to the right.
Punch sets normally are made up of a bowl and base along with six cups as shown with the lime ice green set here. To the right is an ad from a Butler Brothers catalog. It shows a dining set assortment made up of a water set, a berry set and a table set.
