Kenilworth Glass
The Rakow Library showed the following black and white slide of a Marshall Field 1917-1918 catalog.
Alan – What a spectacular find !!! Do we have a date? It’s the first original color advertisement
We’ve seen of some of the pieces we have. Would love to know detail of “Kenilworth”.
Thank you, Willson & Susan Craigie, Richmond, VA
A. The Colored catalog page from Marshall Field & Co. was the 1916-1917 period.

I blew up the picture (above) and noticed at least 3 were listed as Mousseline Purple while the blue one was not listed as Mousseline. Interesting?
