STIPPLED MUM: On rare occasion, one of these bowls will appear for sale on Ebay, but “classification” places them into the (ala-Resnick—“rare-so-what” category).
We purchased a green example today (6/27/12) from a local auction. How often do they present themselves? Virtually NEVER! An amethyst example was discovered for sale @ $85. on only one site today! With nearly 5,000 iridized examples on Ebay daily, wouldn’t you think there might be ONE? Peacocks and Good Lucks are not in short supply. (smile) Perhaps that is because “everyone KNOWS what they look like?”
Today is (7/23/12). Nothing is listed as Stippled Mum on eBay today, but when placing Stippled Rays into search, 50 examples were displayed, with only one of them being a marigold Stippled Mum! (It’s all in a name!) Smooth Rays would be more accurate!
Apparently Stippled Mum was given a trial run in the early days of carnival marketing. Perhaps only one turn (400), or possibly only a ½ turn were produced? Since only three basic colors are known, perhaps early efforts in the 1909 timeframe were abandoned?
You may click into HOW CARNIVAL WAS MADE in our segment list on the homepage to view an amethyst example. Our site partner, Donna Adler purchased this bowl in the late ‘90s without knowing the pattern. A friend of hers discovered an example in Bill Edwards’ 6th Encyclopedia. It had not appeared in his earlier volumes, further indicating the extreme scarcity of the pattern.
The pattern is never referred to on auction brochures, is not mentioned in Northwood, The Wheeling Years, by Heacock, Measell, Wiggins; not shown in the Hartung books; nor the Carl O. Burns Northwood book!.... TRULY!....... “a rare-so-what”! Do you suppose that one of THESE would bring $30,000 at auction?? LOL!
They are every bit as rare as any Rose Tree bowl. It’s all in promotion and mind-set.
Please take note of the sizes and differences of the marie areas of Stippled Mum and the Poppy Variant examples.
Amethyst POPPY VT. #1 - Courtesy Joe Brennan.
Interior of POPPY VT. #1- Courtesy Joe Brennan.
POPPY Variant #1: While this name indicates a variation of the Northwood Poppy Pickle dish, there is actually no correlation. The Poppy Vt. pattern dates to the 1909 timeframe. The pattern is found only on the exterior of 6”- 7 ½” ruffled bowls. (Notice the un-patterned interior?) Marigold, amethyst and green are known colors. Carl Burns notes that some of the green examples offer the Alaskan finish.
POPPY VARIANT #2 - Amethyst 7 3/8 in. diameter.
POPPY Variant #2: An interior plunger having the addition of the Stippled Daisy center is used with the exterior Poppy Vt. #1 mould to create an entirely different overall result.
Dean & Diane Fry, 7/12
And it shall be that if you earnestly obey My commandments which I command you today,
To love the LORD your God and serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul,
Then I will give you the rain for your land in its season, the early rain and the latter rain,
that you may gather in your grain and your new wine, and your oil.
And I will send grass in your fields for your livestock, that you may eat and be filled.
Take heed to yourselves, lest your heart be deceived, and you turn aside and serve
other gods and worship them,
Lest the LORD’s anger be aroused against you, and He shut up the heavens so that there be no rain,
And the land yield no produce, and you perish quickly from the good land which the LORD is giving you.
Therefore you shall lay up these words of mine in your heart and in your soul,
And bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes.
You shall teach them to your children, speaking of them when you sit in your house,
when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up.
And you shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates,
That your days and the days of your children may be multiplied in the land of which the LORD swore to your fathers to give them, like the days of the heavens above the earth.
For if you carefully keep all these commandments which I command you to do-to love the LORD your God,
to walk in all His ways, and to hold fast to Him---then the LORD will drive out all these nations from before you,
and you will dispossess greater and mightier nations than yourselves.
(Deuteronomy 11:13-23)
