Another example of how sometimes the screens for the application of decoration were reversed or inverted. The phenomenon is observed in patterns whose decorations were somewhat abstract, like Gooseberry and the Woodland seen here. Certain turquoise on opal Butterprint bowls in the 400 and 440 series have the farm couple reversed. The most unusual reverse, however, is a Butterprint butter dish cover on which the farm couple is reversed but the rest of the asymmetrical decoration is not.

Woodland refrigerator sets are often hard to complete because they existed for such a short time. Although the pattern was marketed 1978-1983, refrigerator sets were discontinued mid-1981. Finally found the 503 to complete the set today for $10 at the same place I found the Earthtones 933 lasagna pan. Gathering the pieces together for the photo, I realized I had accumulated three 502s and four 501s in the interim.
