Soda Gold, Imperial

Perhaps because the Soda Gold pattern has no representation of flowers or even be considered geometric, it receives little attention. The design consists of thin meandering lines over a stippled background. Sometimes called Spider Web or Tree of Life and dates from the depression era. The marigold bowl above right is unusual with its cupped-in top. It sold for $40 at a 1997 auction. Console bowls have the rim turned out and rolled down. The pattern is found in marigold and smoke.

Note that Dugan's Maple Leaf pattern also has a Soda Gold background, although the berry bowls lack the distinctive leaf elements.
