No matter what pattern of these beautiful patterns you collect you will never be disappointed.  This part is on the solid white collections with the delicate colored edges.  There is a greater demand for the blue which has a more colonial flair than the red does, or at least in my opinion.

Some blue & red sherbets & plates have appeared having the distinctive shape but the pattern was different.  This is a novel pattern but will not command the prices that the more distinctive one will. 

The Monas pattern can be found rimmed with various colors (black (smoke), gold, green, pink)/  Smoke is considered by some to be black but essentially it is a blue-gray color that only reaches black at the very edge only as if to flirt with our imagination.  If you can find smoke - grab it - it can be worth a bundle.  A bluish haze does not make Smoke.  You want true smoke.

Pink trimmed is also very rare and a great find.  The gold trim which my friend Jan loves to collect is not well liked so she has never had a problem in her collecting.  You must be careful with the gold trim in your hand washing of them as the gold will disappear under even a ordinary washcloth and I read somewhere that collectors who hated the gold just erased it with a normal eraser.
