SWIRL RIB: is found in Bowls, 6-9marigold, Candy Jar-smoke, ( rose marie, emerald green-may not be iridized?), Candlesticks-marigold, Center-handled server-marigold, Creamer & open sugar-marigold, Cup/Saucer-marigold, Mug-marigold, Sherbet-marigold, clambroth, Plate-6-marigold, clambroth, Plate - 8- 9 12, marigold.
The minute differences in the swirl design can present question in some cases, as with the smoke Candy Jar. It comes down to a personal preference in naming it: Swirl or Swirl Rib?
Apparently this pattern came late in the carnival glass period, leading into the Depression era. The candy jar and the 12 plate are not listed in some written accounts surrounding carnival glass. Smoke was not a known color when Carl Burns wrote his 1996 Imperial book.
SWIRL RIB BOWL - 11.25 in. diam. and PLATE - 14.5 in. diam. - Marigold.
UPDATE: Swirl Rib
An email including photos displaying sizes for this Swirl Rib set was received April 6, 2013 from Steve Lindquist and Gary Sullivan. The lovely set had been found that very morning! The bowl measures 11 ¼ in diameter and the plate is 14 ½ in diameter.
The earliest ad for the Swirl Rib pattern is shown in the March 1924 issue of Butler Brothers Wholesale Catalog. Several plate sizes, along with other shapes are known in the pattern. It is probably safe to say that this was a transition design away from previous carnival glass, into the Depression Glass era leading well into the early 1930s.

Dean & Diane Fry, 5/12
Therefore be imitators of God as dear children. And walk in love,
as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us,
an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma.
But fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness,
let it not even be named among you, as is fitting for saints; neither filthiness,
Nor foolish talking, nor coarse jesting, which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks.
For this you know, that no fornicator, unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater,
has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.
Let no one deceive you with empty words,
for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.
Therefore do not be partakers with them.
For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord.
Walk as children of light (for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth),
finding out what is acceptable to the Lord. (Ephesians 5:1-10)
