Border Plants, Dugan   Comments by Alan and Lorraine Pickup
A hard-to-find pattern, Border Plants can be distinguished from a similar Dugan pattern, Flowers and Frames, by the long petal shapes, rather than flowers, radiating out from the center. The handgrip plate above left sold for $550 in 1997, the deeply ruffled bowl on the right, a rare shape in the pattern, brought just $100 in 2002, probably because it had base damage.
