Stork and Rushes, Stork and Rushes/Lattice Band, Dugan
Dugan made their Stork and Rushes in two slightly different patterns. One, as shown in the water set above left, has a band of beads at the top and bottom of the pieces. The second has a lattice band at top and bottom, as shown in the pitcher on the right (courtesy of Bill and Sharon Mizell). L.G. Wright reproduced the Stork and Rushes pattern.

Note the interesting stand for the above punch bowl. Despite the fact that it does not match the other parts of the pattern and looks too tall to be the correct stand, it is the right one. Dugan used a vase, called Summer Days, and turned it upside down to serve as the base for Stork and Rushes. Although complete table sets are known, they are quite rare. Even the components appear infrequently. Punch sets and table sets are known only in the beaded versions.

In 2021, this first reported bonbon, in marigold, sold for $575, with a small base chip. A stemmed bonbon. Photo courtesy of Seeck Auctions.
In 2006, this white spittoon whimsey was offered on eBay. Apparently made from a sugar base or spooner. The bids rose to $6,200 before it was pointed out that it was a new item by Wright. It dropped back to about $100 but eventually sold for $1,005.
