Rare Teal Blue Color in the Stand Alone Shape |
|
Wild Iris - Unreported Color |
| A member reports a recent purchase of
a known shaker in a rare color in the stand alone version. This shaker
was originally named Water Lily by Warman. Peterson changed it to
Wild Iris. Then the Lechners named it Marsh Flower in
their Book I, perhaps not recognizing that the Peterson shape was a
condiment salt and the one they pictured was a stand alone salt. In
their Book II they show a condiment set and retain the original Peterson
name of Wild Iris. Heacock endorsed the name Wild Iris with
other pieces of the pattern.
The Lechners attribute this shaker
to Dithridge. No source of this attribution is given. Reports have been
that an old Dithridge catalog shows this attribution. As a result, I
compared the teal shaker to some known Dithridge shakers for color
match. I recently found
an old article that Bill Heacock had written for the Antique Trader.
Most
of the information from the articles he wrote are condensed and updated
in his book, "Old Pattern Glass According to Heacock". This one escaped. For some
exciting information on this pattern and the Cosmos pattern, please The condiment shaker has been known in this color but the stand alone shaker has never been reported. Please see the Condiment Set section for pictures of the condiment sets in this pattern. |
