| Inverted Feather has a row of hobstars above columns of an vertical feather motif. There are quite a few shapes known, but only the cracker jar and parfait are seen with any frequency. There is one known marigold milk pitcher and a couple of marigold water pitchers. Some pieces are signed Near Cut. | |

| Table set pieces rarely sell, so it is difficult to establish value. Any, however would bear a premium price. The above amethyst creamer, with a rough lip, sold in 1998 for $100. The common parfait above, also referred to as a compote, is known only in marigold. | |

| As rare as most pieces in this pattern are, these two are probably the only ones known in these shapes. The green bonbon, whimsied from the base of the cracker jar, sold in 1996 for $2,750. One with a base chip brought $450 in 2004. Another brought $700 in 2007. The vase, which appears to have been made from the pitcher, is courtesy of Don and Becky Hamlet. |
