Bought this little bowl today complete with frog, but can't find the pattern, I'm sure it's probably quite common but not one I've come across before.

Connie:
Hi Paul -

It is Fenton Pepper Plant.

chuggy:
Thanks Connie it's not in my old book. I think this shape is called a hat it stands about 3.5" tall on a round base and about 5.5" across the mouth. Is it a common pattern or at all unusual ( he asks hopefully).
Paul

Connie:
Hi Paul -

I am sorry but I am not at home so I don't have my books. Look on Dave Doty's site or hopefully Glen will be along soon and she can give you the full details.

Glen:
Paul - I wrote an article some years ago that shows the clear differences between the Pepper Plant and the Holly patterns, when seen on the hat shape (yes it is a hat shape). Rather than repeat it all here I will give you a link to my illustrated article.

The flower holder inside is not something that I believe would have been in it when it was made. I suspect it was "married" up since (and is most likely a European - probably UK - "frog" aka flower holder).
