Grape and Cable Table Sets, Dresser Sets, and Breakfast sets, Northwood
Old catalogs show these Grape and Cable dresser sets. The sets include two cologne bottles, a powder jar, a hatpin holder, a small pin tray and a large dresser tray -- both oval. The perfume bottles were not included--they are actually Dugan's Vintage pattern. Many pieces are found with a plain band rather than the cable, some found with a stippled background, and some with both. Complete sets rarely are sold. Invariably, auctioneers break up sets on the assumption that the individual pieces will sell for more than they would as a set.

The Grape and Cable table set consists of four pieces; a covered butter dish, a covered sugar bowl, an open spooner, and a creamer. Spooners filled with water and were used to hold serving spoons. These sets were destined for the dinner table. Breakfast sets had a smaller and more squatty open sugar and creamer only. Note that butter dishes have been reproduced.
