Description:50 Favorites - 41. CANADIAN and its closely related counterpart, CAPE COD, provide collectors with two unusual examples of 19th century patterns where landscape scenes predominate. Imates of rustic buildings and rural countryside on these non-lead patterns of the 1870s or 1880s held great nostalgic appeal for collectors during the Colonial Revival period in the 1920s and 1930s, an appeal that continues to this day. But was CANADIAN made in Canada? This question has pestered collectors throughout most of the 20th century. Ruth Webb Lee considered the glassworks in Mallorytown, Ontario, as a possible source. She later predicted that research probably would establish the pattern as American. Alice Hulett Metz dodged the issue of attribution entirely. John and Elizabeth Welker limited their comments to a single sentence: “This pattern could possibly have been made in Canada.” (50 Favorites catalogue)
