Hey, all you experts. I picked up a very heavy hobnail milk glass dish yesterday, which I *think* is by Fenton. It's shaped like a three-leaf clover and is about 7" across. I'm stymied on the official name for such a shape.

Thanks, McJane. That's a great start.

Ah, another good suggestion!

A trefoil is a pattern of three identical shapes. Shamrocks and clover are trefoils. A fleur-de-lys is not formed of three identical shapes and thus is not a trefoil--one petal forms to the left, one to the right and one sticks straight up.
I'd describe the shape of the dish as "shamrock", though shamrock and clover shapes are pretty much the same.
