Frontenac by International

Another pattern designed by John T. Clulee, Frontenac by International (1903) was, I think, Clulee's best work. Some sources I found show that the pattern was actually carried by International until 1974. The design  has very detailed lilies on the terminal and part the way down the stem, with a vine gently flowing along the sides between the two blossoms and then twisting from the second blossom down to the shoulder. On the serving piece there are more blossoms, vines, and additional detail. A truly exquisite pattern.
