Feather, aka Doric, Indiana Swirl, Indiana Feather, Finecut & Feather. Manufactured by McKee Brothers ca. 1896, by Cambridge Glass Co. ca. 1902 and by Beatty-Brady Glass Co. ca. 1903.

There are two principle variations in this pattern.
Doric: (aka Crowsfoot) Characteristics: scalloped top rims on spooner, celery, pitchers,and toothpick; plain, unpatterned collar bases; and the design on the inside of the bases is a scalloped, outlined "floral"pattern. If the piece has a straight rim (compotes, covered bowls, butter dish), the space between the rounded feather tops is filled with a 3-pointed bird track, or "crow's foot". This variation includes all stemmed pieces in the pattern and all green and amber-stained pieces.This variation is of higher quality glass.		Finecut & Feather: Characteristics: straight rims on all pieces, with the space between the rounded feather tops filled with cross-hatching, or "finecut"; collar bases have a repeat of the feather motif (often poorly detailed); the inside base motif is a rayed star, with rays originating at a center point.    The only reproductions we know of are some obviously new sapphire blue and amber (possibly other colors) goblets & vases.

Above is a 9" smooth rimmed plate showing the charasteristic Doric var. center & "crowsfoot". There is an unusual deep rim around the perimeter; probably made from the mold for the 8" flat bowl.	The Lazy Susan- where Feather gets used at the Hendersons table.

Bill & Elaine Henderson of PatternGlass.com have been collecting & studying Feather pattern since the late 1980's. Their first pieces were inherited by Elaine. A plate (badly chipped) from her Maternal Great Grandmother's farm family which included 16 children, in Oklahoma, and a cov'd compote on a high standard from her Paternal Great Grandmother in Arkansas.
