Four Pillars, Northwood/Millersburg | ||
![]() | ![]() | A classic design but still confused with other patterns because of its simplicity. Northwood made Four Pillars in two base sizes: a standard size with a 3 1/8 inch base, and a small size with a 2 7/8 inch base. There is a third size of Four Pillars with a 3 1/4 inch base which is a standard size but from an entirely different mold and belived to be Millersburg, including Howard Furniture advertising in the base.
Don't settle for a damaged or inferior Four Pillars vase in aqua opal. This is the most frequently found color so there are plenty to choose from. The examples are one in a Kelly green that sold in 1998 for $900 and a very short blue example--just 6 3/4 inches tall. Information on Four Pillars vases here.

![]() ![]() This photo of two Four Pillars vases was sent to me by Mark Kessler in 2019. He purchased these on eBay a while earlier. Both have damage to the feet. What's unusual about them? The color: they're in celeste blue, a rare color in the pattern.
