Butterfly and Berry Bowls, Fenton   Updated 4/19/2008

Butterfly and Berry was Fenton's most popular pattern and is found in a fair number of shapes. The pattern was used on the exterior of other Fenton patterns--Hearts and Trees, Heart and Vine, Fantail, and Panther. Fenton also whimsied some of their bowls. Above are a green bowl with typical shaping and a blue bowl with the sides straight up called a fernery. If these bowls are slightly cupped in, they're referred to a rosebowls. If the bowls are widely spread into an ice cream shape, the're called centerpiece bowls. Imported fake bowls are known in white and amethyst.
