Period of Production: 1971 - 1974
Designer: Gregory Mirow
Description: Birds and flowers in bright red and golden orange on opal dishes alternating with solid red or orange dishes. Round casserole lids were first produced in decorated clear glass, later, in mid-1972, in decorated opal glass.

• A more dense version of this pattern was first seen on a 1971 promotional "Penn Dutch" 475 casserole with matching underplate.
• HTF 933 lasagna pan pattern is printed in red only.
• Solid red 401 "poppy" bowls offered separately appear to match this pattern's red.

  Some references state that Friendship was originally called "Friendship & Daisy", apparently based upon a page from a 1973 dealer catalog:

  

  If the page is viewed in the context of the entire catalog, however, it becomes apparent that an assumption was made based upon an image of the single lefthand page:

  

  Earlier January and June 1972 dealer catalogs leave no doubt that the pattern's name is "Friendship", as do 1971 magazine ads. And, since Daisy's introduction preceded Friendship's by three years, it would make little sense to call the latter "Friendship & Daisy".
