Knowles' Fashion shape was first produced in 1935. The round scalloped shape was designed with a heavily embossed rim and fluted verge. Hollowware was given ornate, flattop handles.
Most pieces can be found with a general Edwin M. Knowles backstamp, date code, and the shape's name. If the markings are any indication, the line was not produced beyond 1937.
Expect to find Fashion with floral decals. (To my knowledge it was never offered in solid colors.) The assortment is standard with various sizes of plates, platters, bowls, teacup, saucer, sugar, creamer, covered casserole, sauceboat, and a square plate.
