| Fenton used two molds to make this pattern. One was used to make the bowls and rare plates, the other to make the banana boats. Bowls are found in ruffled, three-in-one, ice cream shape, and the tight crimped versions shown above left. Plates come in amethyst, blue, green and marigold while bowls come in the additional colors of amber, aqua, lavender and vesline. Bowls and plates have the wide panel exterior pattern.
