Lustre Rose, Imperial | |
Essentially the same as Imperial's other Rose pattern, Open Rose. Both are shown in early Imperial catalogs as the same pattern, but collectors have come to refer to the water sets, table sets, and footed bowls as Lustre Rose. Pitchers and tumblers usually have a slightly fluted interior. Those without the fluting are called the variant. The footed fruit bowl above is red, an extremely rare color for Imperial. Water sets, table sets, and footed fruit bowls have been reproduced in several colors. | |

These low squatty bowls with the sides straight up are called ferneries. Interestingly, blue, rare in Imperial, is the most common here. Centerpiece bowls are the same piece but stretched into an ice cream shape.
