Joan of Arc by International

International introduced Joan of Arc in 1940. It was designed by Alfred G. Kintz who also designed Empress (1932), Springtime (1935), and Wedgwood (1924)for the company. This pattern should not be confused with International's Jeanne d'arc pattern they introduced in 1905 that designed by John T. Clulee.

  1. The popularity of this pattern and others which resemble it (Towle's "Queen Elizabeth I," Gorham's "Chantilly" and "Strasbourg," e g) suggests that most people have similar taste when it comes to choosing a pattern--a few lines and curves, but keep it restrained, with nothing that would appesr overstated or too ornate. . . .Of course, there is still the "Francis I" crowd. . . .
