Unusual Friendship
Probably more to do with a new pattern and lead time, but here's a shot of Friendship from an early 1972 catalog. What's wrong with this picture?

Re: Unusual Friendship
The promotional casserole is missing the plate?
Re: Unusual Friendship
The photo is Friendship, not Penn Dutch.

Re: Unusual Friendship
Isn't Penn Dutch the promotional "go with" for Friendship?
Re: Unusual Friendship
It preceded Friendship, but the 475 for Friendship is not the same. The photo uses a PD dish as a Friendship. The promo also had the more densely decorated opal lid. This same mismatch is in the display at the Rakow library Pyrex exhibit.

Re: Unusual Friendship
The Friendship pattern and the Penn Dutch pattern are both obviously inspired by the Pennsylvania Dutch hex sign for Friendship so I think of them all as one set.

Re: Unusual Friendship
If 1972 was the year they switched to the Opal lid wouldn't it make sense that an early 1972 picture would still show the clear lid?
Re: Unusual Friendship
The change was apparently not exactly coincidental with the new year. Penn Dutch's lid was decorated opal on a Cinderella round casserole before Friendship debuted with its decorated clear lids on them. But the clear lids must not have been around for very long; you don't see that many with them. The June 1972 catalog shows them with opal lids. And an apparently not PD 475 dish.

Re: Unusual Friendship
It looks suspicious to me. There is a lot of variation in the color and I think I might be seeing brush strokes?
