One of the most confusing vase patterns. Several manufacturers made similar pieces, each shaping the top differently. At one point, the jack-in-the-pulpit version was the only one known, so the pattern became known by that name--although a variety of top shapes are now known. The piece on the left is Northwood and brought $275 at a 1998 auction. On the right is the Fenton version; it sold for $60 at the same auction. Note that there is a small Dugan vase, called Thin Panel, that comes in a jack-in-the-pulpit shape amd is sometimes misidentified as this one.
