Excerpt from "Pennsbury Pottery" by Lucile Henzke, page 47: “Harvest” pattern displays an amish couple carrying a laden holiday tray consisting of a pumpkin turkey and other seasonal foods. There are two versions of the Harvest pattern, even though the difference is slight. On one, the turkey is deleted from the tray and the couple is walking forward, however, the man has his head towards the woman. The other version shows both people facing in the same direction. This is a Lee Below design, sometimes initialed LE or LB.
