Persian Medallion Pattern
PERSIAN MEDALLION Pattern
Mid-Spring 1911 Butler Bros. Wholesale Catalog
Persian Medallion held a prominent place among Fenton patterns. Appearing in Wholesale Catalog ads from Spring 1911 - July 1922 in various shapes, its “long-term acceptance” with the buying public requires no further acclimation.
Our photos are but a sampling of its fabulous color range and application. Not all shapes were offered in the wide variety of colors found in the bonbon/card tray shapes, but certainly, the pattern itself found favor closely relating to Grape and Cable, which everyone knows to be boundless in its marketing coverage.
Fenton #920 Grape and Cable orange bowl, circa 1911, offers Persian Medallion interior in the 10” wide and the more rare 11” wide bowl. Fenton #1049 Wreath of Roses Punch Set displayed Persian Medallion interior, and the Stream of Hearts compote has the Medallion pattern on the exterior.
The scarce, small size compote has the Wide Panel exterior. It is known in amethyst, blue, green, marigold and white.
6”-7” sauce bowls: amberina, amethyst, aqua, blue, green, marigold, vaseline, white. This size bowl can be ice cream shape or ruffled, with a green one confirmed having the CRE. There is a footed example having Grape & Cable exterior.

Wreath of Roses punch sets: amethyst, blue, green, marigold
Fruit bowl, footed, 10” size: amethyst, blue, green, ice green, marigold

PLATE-about 9”: These are rare in any color. We display the exterior of one which came from the factory. Beware of some which left the factory as bowls and in after-market-alteration, they “became plates”. Look for discoloration, slightly scorched areas and spray which appears within the marie. These makeovers also have slightly “wavering” edges………vestiges of former bowl ruffles! Please bear in mind that TRUE FENTON FACTORY-MADE PLATES ARE OF THE FLAT VARIETY. It's Northwood who made the scooped plates.
Found in: Amethyst, blue, green, marigold and white

Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal.
And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.
And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing.
Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; Does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Love never fails.
But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away.
For we know in part and we prophesy in part.
But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away.
When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known.
And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
(1 Corinthians 13) = Paul's instructions to us about use of spiritual gifts in love.
