Peacocks (Peacocks on the Fence) - Northwood |
|
|
|
The Peacocks pattern has two birds sitting on a fence--thus the alternate name. Most have Northwood's ribbed back although a few are known with a basketweave or a plain back. Another variation is that some pieces come with an overall stippled background (above center). The pattern only comes in plates and bowls. There are two edge treatments to the bowls, ruffled and pie crust edge (PCE). Most measure 8 to 9 inches across. Northwood's Peacocks is found in a wide range of colors. From left to right are green, renninger blue and ice blue examples. |

The photo at far left shows a PCE bowl in Renninger blue. The stippled plate in the center photo, is also Renninger blue. These two pieces show the difference the iridescence can make in the outward appearance of pieces with the same base glass color. The ruffled bowl to the right is aqua opal. |
