| At a glance, this pattern would appear to be Butterfly and Berry--that's what the exterior pattern is. The interior, though, is the seldom seen Hearts and Trees pattern that has heart-shaped leaves on the bottom and trees along the sides of the interior, almost like a forest glen. Closely related to Heart and Vine and Stream of Hearts. These bowls are known almost exclusively in marigold like the one at the left and sell for $150 to $300 or so. The only green example to sell in recent years is the centerpiece bowl on the right. It brought only $600--probably because of the lack of iridescence in the center--in 1999. Dean and Diane Fry report a bowl in blue.
