So beautiful! And I really like the way you have it displayed! Gorgeous lustres. Love Northwood glass, and this pattern!
very nice...and I'm certainly not an expert here but they appear to be Fenton
"Certainly not an expert" is what an expert will say of himself. Sir, I know that you have great expertise in glass! So, although I had just signed off of CW, very tired, when I saw your note, I had to sign on again and ask you why. : ) Why Fenton, please? Thank you!
They may be fenton, I was told they were northwood, I'm no glass expert.
ddoty has some pretty good images to compare the 3 versions of this pattern by Fenton, Millersburg and Northwood. Check the details from the link below where the Peacock & Urn are toward the end:

Thank you TallCakes for the info, I learn something new everyday on this site!
you're welcome. curious, do your pieces have the bearded berry pattern on the back as noted on ddoty?
As a matter of fact they do, I had to go and look at the backs of them, I never noticed the berries before.
Interesting that the three makers introduced the pattern around 1910. It'd be interesting to collect pieces from each.
Thank you very much, TallCakes!!!
you're very welcome :
Lookin good chevy! Look at that curio cabinet, wow, you are steppin it up now!
Yeah Signaholic, I'm gettin Krazy and steppin up my game! Lol No I was just bored last night, that's all.
Thank you everyone for all the love and comments!
Hi, chevy59! I just now caught on to the sense of your Comment No. 4. My Comment No. 3 referred to TallCake's assertion that he was not an expert. Sorry! didn't mean to put you on the spot. : )
