Scroll Embossed - Imperial
Above left is a purple Scroll Embossed plate. These plates, which have a plain back, are about 9 inches across. Bowls were also made from the mold and have a plain back as in this teal 8 ruffled bowl to the right. These bowls may also be round. Plates are predominantly found in purple but green and marigold are also available. Plates in aqua, lavender or teal would be harder to find. In addition to these colors, rare bowls may also be found in clambroth, lime green and smoke.
Ruffled bowls may also have had a File exterior as in this smoke example. Pieces with the File exterior come in two sizes a larger bowl and a sauce bowl. Together these two bowls would form a berry set. File back bowls are found in marigold, purple and smoke. A rarer amberina color is also known. Plates with a file back are not known and would be a rare find.
Bowls can also have the Hobstar and Tassle back which is shown in the two photos above. This bowl with the Hobstar and Tassle back pattern measures 7 inches across and are predominantly found in purple. A green or marigold version would be a rare find. Plates with a Hobstar and Tassle back are not known and would be a rare find. Bowls with Hobstar and Tassle exteriors and plain interiors are known.
