Orchid by Watson

Orchid was designed in 1903 by Eustace Crees and  Charles S. Court for Watson. These two designers also collaborated on the patterns Olympia and Altair for Watson. The design of the pieces in this pattern has the heavy embellishment of an orchid bloom on the terminal with crossed vines training gracefully  down the stem and crossing one last time at the top of the shoulder.
