"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.
