There is uncertainty about what is pattern 3273. The pattern book has an illustration for the tableware salad dish. It looks like the commonly found Stitch design 3274 but with three even length stitched panels in blue, orange and mauve and a green band of equal width to the stitch panels completing the border.

Nothing exactly like this has been seen, but several items close to it have been including a vase with flower frog which has the number 3273 on the base. The other items do not have the green lustre and are all tableware items, (toast racks and crescent dish). These could be a different pattern but because the only difference is the lack of green lustre I believe they could well be the same. All of these items have period 1 style backstamps, (if any) so were probably made before 1935.
