Memphis, Northwood | |
![]() | ![]() |
Although it has many characteristics of other cut-style patterns, Memphis is distinguished by its panel of raised square hobs. It is found only in fruit sets, punch sets, and berry bowls (aside from one spooner in purple and a tumbler in green). Above left is a fruit set in which the base of the bowl (with a larger collar base) fits over the top of the stand. With the punch set, at right, the top fits into the top of the stand. Stands are identical for both. | |

The berry bowls, found mostly in marigold, are actually more scarce than either the fruit or punch sets in that color. The lack of an interior pattern, however, prevents them from being more desirable.

Fake butter dish
These fake Memphis butter dishes have been appearing on eBay with some regularity lately. Usually listed as black amethyst, but other colors are quite possible. |
