Mary Warren by Machester

The things they will name patterns after - Mary Warren was the name of the oldest accuser during the Salem Witch trials in 1692. Perhaps there is another not so "infamous" Mary Warren" that merited a pattern named in her honor, but for now that is all I could find. Manchester's Mary Warren pattern introduced in 1932 is of simple lines, those that normally are equated to colonial times.

Jelly Cake Server (Pierced) (Part 3)

As I posted on this piece earlier, here are some more examples of the Pierced Jelly Cake Server. Most of these are fancy, elaborate servers (often very expensive - as the Old Orange Blossom example here that retails in the $1200 range.)

Fruit Series #1 by Watson

In 1903 Watson introduced its Fruit Series #1. The terminal and stem of each piece was very clearly decorated with the design of a fruit in deep relief. The art work is remarkable. In addition to the samples shown here (Strawberry, Orange, Grape, and Banana) there were also designs of Apple. Blackberry, Peach, Pear, Pineapple, Watermelon,
