| The variant differs from the Dugan version with the addition of four flower buds between the crescent shapes. Note also the scalloped edge. The back can be plain or have a thumbprint and panels design; the bases are ground. The origins are unknown but thought to be European. According to researcher and Carnival Glass author Glen Thistlewood, there is not a bit of evidence that these were made by either Eda or Riihimaki, though they are often attributed to one or the other. In 2018, Glen and Stephen Thistlewood established that the pattern was made by Brockwitz. Sometimes called Pods and Posies.
