Butterfly & Berry

This is where I soooo wish that the old message board was accessible. A similar question to this was posed some months ago, and I gave a full answer then.

On most of the Fenton Butterfly & Berry pieces, the panels show the butterfly and the berry motifs alternately. However, as far as I am aware, on just two shapes (the creamer and the covered sugar) there are two butterfly panels and then one berry panel.

If you have the book "Fenton the first 25 years" by Heacock, you can see on p 119, an original Fenton ad for various shapes in this pattern. It is possible to see that the creamer and the covered sugar have the double butterfly panels.
