| 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 even more so. The green bon bon, 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. |
