HANGING CHERRIES: Definite hanging cherries with stippled leaves in the design, this pattern name covers the subject more definitively than its earlier name: Millersburg Cherries. This is one of the earliest production numbers, with more satin examples found than radium.
An Oct. 1987 issue of the Holmes County Farmer-Hub, a statement by local Millersburg collector of that era named Lucille Lowe offered this bit of history relating to John W. Fenton's interest in cherries: It is said that the Millersburg glass maker had a special fondness for sweet Black heart cherries and there were several of these trees near the plant. At the noon hour he would entice some of the younger men to climb a tree and throw down small limbs to him. The famous Millersburg Hanging Cherries pieces are a special depiction he made of his favorite fruit.
A couple of 6 ruffled bowls, a large ice cream bowl, a large ruffled bowl and a 6 sauce with 3/1 edge are known in blue, along with a large compote known in blue. The other shapes in this pattern are found in amethyst, green and marigold.
In this segment, we are examining the only reported 11 green chop plate, and an 8 plate in green, an 8 flat plate in amethyst, and another amethyst would be 8 plate if it did not have turned up edges. The large marigold compote stands 6 tall with the bowl opening 7 in diameter. The lovely stem has a 4 diameter stem. A ruffled sauce and one in ice cream shape with super satin iridescence conclude our display.

The righteous shall flourish like a palm tree, he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
Those who are planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God.
They shall still bear fruit in old age; they shall be fresh and flourishing, to declare that the LORD is upright;
He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.
(Psalm 92:12-15)
