As author of the Victorian Opalescent Glass Identification and Value Guide, now available on CD in it's 13th edition, I've seen over the years a pattern listed as Fluted Scrolls (Jackson) in some reference books, or it may be called Fluted Scrolls or also known as Jackson.  Both of these listings are incorrect.  William Heacock seperated the two pattern names over 30 years ago in his book, Encyclopedia of Victorian Colored Pattern Glass, Book II, Opalescnet Glass from A to Z, and the reason he did this is because they are two totally different patterns. The Jackson pattern was first made by Northwood in Custard Glass starting in 1898.  Reference:  Encyclopedia of Victorian Colored Pattern Glass, Book 4, by William Heacock, page 31.  Fluted Scrolls or Klondyke was introduced in 1897 in opalescent colors, the year of the big Gold Rush to Alaska.  Another pattern that was introduced the same year was actually called Alaska.  Fluted Scrolls, Jackson and Alaska were very popular patterns and were in production for several years.  But  in 1904 Northwood started making Jackson pattern pieces in Opalescent colors.  This is why William Heacock seperated the two names in his Opalescent Glass book.    This newer opalescent line also became known as Fluted Scrolls with Flower Band.   This new opalescent line introduced by Northwood in 1904 had a rather short production life.  No Jackson pieces in Opalescent colors have ever been found signed with the Northwood tradmark N in a circle.  That trademark was first used beginning 1906.  This means the Jackson pattern in Opalescent colors was in production for approximately two years, from 1904 - 1905.  This is also the reason why the Jackson pattern in Opalescent colors is much harder to find today.

This first photo below shows a Fluted Scrolls or (Klondyke) creamer in Blue Opalescent without the center flower band.

This second photo shows a Jackson or Fluted Scrolls with Flower Band creamer in Blue Opalescent. In this example the flower band pressed in the glass has been decorated with Gold and some of the gold has worn off.  The feet were also decorated. 

Reference to the Jackson pattern can be found in the Encyclopedia of Victorian Colored Pattern Glass, Book II, Opalescnet Glass from A to Z,  page 32. The water pitcher shown also has the pressed flower band design decorated with Gold so it's hard to see exactly what the design underneath really looks like.  I have seen pieces without the Gold decoration so they can be found with or without Gold.  I will continue to try and find pieces of Jackson and include better pictures of the flower band design for future reference.  The pictures referenced in Book 4 show the design very clearly in Custard Glass.

I hope that future publications will recognize that Fluted Scrolls or (Klondyke),  and Jackson or (Fluted Scrolls with Flower Band) are two totally different patterns and should be treated as such.  In book 4 under the Jackson pattern, William Heacock himself stated exactly the same thing.
