"New Art" - the name is a
literal translation of the French "Art Nouveau" was introduced as a
not-full-line pattern with four motifs: Iris, Easter Lily, Narcissus, &
Orange Blossom. In 1900, one year after New Art was introduced, Durgin introduced
the single motif full-line pattern "Iris", as a compliment to New
Art. The 1905 New Art Catalog states that the two patterns were meant to be
used together. Iris and New Art are lavishly decorated and wonderfully heavy.
