The Fruit Bowls, Centerpiece Bowls and Ferneries have three feet while the Banana Boats have four. The fruit bowls come in two sizes, large and small. Large Fruit Bowls come in Purple, Blue, Green, Ice Blue, Ice Green, Lavender, Lime Green, marigold, and White. Stippled and Banded are found in Blue and Reninger Blue. Banded are found in Marigold and Blue. They are sometimes referred to as Orange bowls. A few of the large size bowls have a blackberry interior. The large size fruit bowls come in three variations: Cabled, Banded, and Banded and Stippled. A few bowls have been found with a Blackberry interior. Fenton also made large fruit bowls in this pattern, most of which have the Persian Medallion interior.

Centerpiece Bowls come from the same mold as the small sized Fruit Bowls but are flared round and are not ruffled. The rim may be flared straight up, flared out or cupped in. There may be several chop plates flattened from centerpiece bowls. Don Moore reports in his September 1992 color insert on chop plates for the ICGA Pump that he knows of one of these chop plates in amethyst, and that a second one is reported. This chop plate measures 14 inches in diameter and is flattened from the footed centerpiece bowl.
