Westmoreland Elite Cream & Sugar Set
At some later point, the sugar bowl was reissued, but flattened out with carnival finishes in marigold, amethyst, and blue opal. Most likely this would have been around 1915 to 1917. The carnival bowl is 8 ¼” in diameter, but can be recognized as having originated from the sugar bowl, because it has the rim around the edge.
Before the original manufacturer’s name was discovered, collectors called this pattern Pillow and Sunburst, and at least one carnival glass book refers to it as Pillar and Sunburst.
