Open Edge, 2 Row, Fenton

These little baskets and bowls are a very popular pattern. Base sizes are 2 1/2 inches and 1 7/8 inches with the smaller more common. Auctioneers rarely provide the base size and, if anything, give just the top spread. A rarer version of this pattern has three rows around the edge. Fenton also made a similar pattern with a berry pattern on the interior (Blackberry Open Edge). Open Edge has been reissued by Fenton and should have the Fenton mark on the bottom. Two-row baskets were used as the basis for advertising pieces for the John H. Brand and Miller Furniture companies. The jack-in-the-pulpit shape shown above is unusual, though not rare. The bowl is celeste blue, a Fenton color.
