Many Stars, Millersburg

The Many Stars pattern is found with either a five-pointed or a six-pointed star in the center. The amethyst ice cream shaped bowl above left sold for $1,300 in 1996; the ruffled blue on the right for $2,700 in 1994. Marigold is surprisingly scarce in any shape, but seems most frequent in the three-in-one edge. Many Stars was used as the basis for the Bernheimer Bros. lettered bowls. The back pattern is Millersburg's Trefoil Fine Cut.
