| Greek Key, Northwood | |
|
| Greek Key is a traditional pattern used on many types of decorative items. It's used on a number of Carnival patterns but dominates the design of Northwood's Greek Key water sets, bowls and plates. Pitchers and tumblers have additional design elements; fan shapes above and hanging pendants below. |

Most plates have a basketweave exterior, but some have a ribbed exterior and are considered more desirable. | This ruffled bowl in ice blue is one of just a couple known. Photo courtesy of Robert and Kim Barnes. |

| A Greek Key bowl in white In 2012 Tim Schwarz sent me these photos of a white ruffled bowl in the Greek Key pattern that he had acquired. It's the first I've heard of and I could find no sales of any white piece in the pattern going back 20 years. In late 2012, it sold at auction for $2,600. |
Updated 12/7/2022 | Greek Key and Scales These ruffled bowls, with a domed foot and the greek key pattern on the exterior, were not made from the same mold as the plates and bowls above. Most have a stippled rays interior, though a few have a plain interior. Such items are often referred to as Greek Key.
