Special Comments: 

Shaker shown in Lechner III has much different floral decoration with small blue flowers on branch with leaves. This shaker is attributed to Buckeye due to to the same decoration as on known Buckeye patterns. The spot mould used has also been speculated to be a Buckeye due to the same spot mold patterns on the bases of the Opalescent patterns matching know Buckeye Opalescent pieces.
