| A somewhat misleading name as neither the pillows nor the sunbursts are terribly obvious. Westmoreland's name for it was Elite. The pattern is on the exterior only. It's easiest to spot the "pillows," which are long, bulbous ovals. The bowls were made from a sugar bowl mold; you can still see the rim where the lid would have fit. This beautiful blue opal example is courtesy of Carl and Ferne Schroeder. | Bowls, 7 1/2 to 8 inches![]() Amethyst/purple, 15 (2005), 20 (2007) ![]() Aqua/teal, ruffled, 45 (1997) ![]() Blue opal, 185 (2002), 160, 200 (both 2008) ![]() Lavender, 15 (2010) ![]() Marigold known ![]() Peach opal, 20 (1999), 35 (2005) Plates ![]() ![]() In 2006, Carl Burns sent me these photos of the only Pillow and Sunburst plate he's seen in 37 years of collecting. It's certainly the first I'd heard of at the time.
