Description: 50 Favorites - 37 Minnie Watson Kamm chose to illustrate LILY-OF-THE-VALLEY on the cover of her Fourth Pitcher Book (1950), while Alice Hulett Metz described the pattern as, “dainty and pretty” (“The Flowers that Bloom in the Spring, in Glass They Never Wilt,” Antiques Journal, June 1951). This non-lead pattern is related, in style, to BLEEDING HEART and likewise has been attributed to Sandwich by such authors as Kamm and Frank W. Chipman. No excavated fragments have been found to support the attribution, however, and Ruth Webb Lee does not claim to Sandwich origin for the pattern in her book, Sandwich Glass. (50 Favorites catalogue) U1, p.197; M1, p. 58
