Snowberry

Gardeners may know the plant on this line of pottery as “symphoricarpos,″ while others will quickly recognize the clumps of white berries that give it its name. Introduced in 1947, this pattern also has a special letter code to identify shapes. Colors are a blend of variegated green and tan, pink-tan to burgundy, and blue to mauve. Most pieces have raised marks.
