Open Edge, 2 Row, Fenton    Updated 1/22/2009

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.
