It has been awhile since I have posted on this blog. Not for lack of interest or acquisitions. But….summer travel and gardening makes me want to me outdoors.
Thought I’d put my nose to the grindstone (a/k/a laptop) and try to post some recent purchases.
………I don’t know why I keep buying pieces with the Corn Flower cutting. I have many – don’t use them and don’t sell them. They are very common in my part of Canada. But…..
This piece is a nice solid piece of pressed glass.

Found this cute little jar recently. I don’t buy Corn flower often as it is so common in our area, but I liked the jar.
I haven’t been able to determine which company made the blank, but I like the total effect. I haven’t put anything in it, but I think it will look pretty with white cotton puff balls in it.

This covered sugar bowl is from the Yeoman line, which I gather consists of a number of lines – 1184, 1185, 1187, and 1189. This is line #1184 (I think). I gather this line came in a diamond optic or plain, as is this piece. In the book The Collector’s Encyclopedia of Heisey Glass, 1925-1938 by Neila Bredehoft, the pattern is identified and explained by:
“Several items in the line were originally listed as Pattern # 1182 (mainly those available in hawthorne). Yeoman seems to be a catch-all pattern of simple designs for tableware. Usually numbers up to #1189 are considered to be part of Yeoman.” I don’t really know the logic behind this name, but Ms. Bredehoft indicates that the Yeoman name was use din later years – production dates – 1913-1957.
This is pretty colour. This is in Heisey’s Hawthorne – a dark pink/lavendar shade. Very pretty. The pattern came in moongleam (green), flamingo (pink), marigold (bright yellow) and sahara (a different yellow).
