ENAMELED ASTER - One of 5 known.
Courtesy Greg Lockhart
ENAMELED ASTER: When Greg approached us concerning this tumbler, we immediately put him in touch with Bob Smith who is a tumbler collector extraordinaire' and is in constant contact with others in that category. Checking all sources, Bob determined that this was indeed an “unknown” pattern….at the moment!
Greg established the pattern name, saying he had purchased the tumbler over eBay some years ago. Shortly afterwards, while strolling through a mall, he found four more tumblers just like it sitting with a Columbine pitcher. The owner would not separate them, so Greg purchased the grouping. How is a collector fortunate enough to claim the only known five examples in a pattern? That does not occur very often in collecting.
Basically identical to Freesia tumblers, Enameled Aster measures 4” high x 3” top diameter x 2” base.
MAGNOLIA and DRAPE on the basic INTERIOR DRAPE Glass pattern
MAGNOLIA and DRAPE: This set is found in amethyst glass, but not as often as in marigold. Reports of marigold berry sets and table sets painted with this design lead to some skepticism. Should they actually exist, they certainly would be extremely rare. During more than 30 years of scanning carnival glass auction lists have resulted in “no shows”!

CROCUS in Amethyst
|
CROCUS Tumbler in White
|
CROCUS: Variations in the number of flowers is common. Marigold and white are the dominant colors. Seemingly, a great many pitchers must have been broken over time, for there seem to be more tumblers available, although certainly not on a regular basis.
Notice that the Crocus design is painted on a Banded Drape blank, as well as a plain tumbler in white.

 |
DOUBLE DAISY Pitcher and Tumbler.
|
|
DOUBLE DAISY: This design appears on the same pitcher shape as that used for Cherries. Double Daisy is not found nearly as often as Cherries, but the deep marigold background is certainly complimentary to the white Daisies.
FREESIA - Tankard, 13 in., Tumbler, 4 in.
A lone tankard sold for $225 in 4-05
FREESIA: This smooth tankard shape is quite pleasing to view, but comparing the Freesia design to some of the more readily found enameled items indicates it to be in the rare category.

LOTUS Enamel on INTERIOR DRAPE Pitcher - 9.5 in. tall.
|
LOTUS in Persian Pearl color.
(Ice Green). |

LOTUS on ZIG-ZAG Pattern Pitcher
|
|
LOTUS: The pitcher offers the cannonball drapery shape. The Lotus design is also found on the Zig Zag pitcher. Colors can be marigold or ice green, (Persian Pearl by Fenton standards). You will notice that the Lotus pattern was turned upside down on the green pitcher. Same design, just different placement technique. All in a day's work for the artist!

Enameled CHRYSANTHEMUM
on ZIG ZAG Pitcher.
|
CHRYSANTHEMUM
|
CHRYSANTHEMUM: We display what seems to be two versions of this pattern applied to the basic Zig Zag pitcher, along with a marigold Cannonball pitcher. Individual artistry application of the painted design offers yet another area of appreciation for collectors. The design is much the same on each pitcher, but was adjusted to fit the differing shapes.

A merry heart makes a cheerful countenance, but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.
The heart of him who has understanding seeks knowledge, but the mouth of fools feeds on foolishness.
All the days of the afflicted are evil, but he who is of a merry heart has a continual feast.
Better is a little with the fear of the Lord, than great treasure with trouble.
Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a fatted calf with hatred.
A wrathful man stirs up strife, but he who is slow to anger allays contention.
The way of a lazy man is like a hedge of thorns, but the way of the upright is a highway.
A wise son makes a father glad, but a foolish man despises his mother.
Folly is joy to him who is destitute of discernment, but a man of understanding walks uprightly.
Without counsel, plans go awry, but in the multitude of counselors they are established.
A man has joy by the answer of his mouth, and a word spoken in due season, how good it is!
Proverbs 15: 13-23
The book of Proverbs offers value of God's wisdom for living.
Proverbs 4:7 tells us: “Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding”.
