It’s hard to see that this piece is yellow.

I was so happy to find this on our local Facebook Marketplace.  I recognized the cutting as Hughes’ Corn Flower but I didn’t recognize the line.

I posted an ID request on the Vintage Glass Identification group on Facebook.  The line was IDed very quickly as Heisey’s Empress line.  I should have known that!

This is the bottom of the lemon dish in Heisey Sahara (yellow).  Don’t know if I will ever find the lid, but who cares?  It’s a gorgeous little piece.  I have started a collection of Corn Flower in coloured glass.  So far my collection is limited to pink, amber, and red/clear.  I am sorry that I have sold the pieces that I used to have in Heisey in Hawthorne.

I haven’t been able to find any more stemware with this beautiful etch.  But I did find this divided bowl and tray in the Fern line.

Still looking for the water goblets in the Coventry line.

Heisey Belvedere (2)These two glasses – the cordial (smaller glass) and the soda – show Heisey’s beautiful plate etch #500 – Belvedere.  The blank is line #4090 – Coventry.  This line had a brief production period of 1937-1939.

I was thrilled to find the cordials online.  They looked gorgeous in the photo, but they were far more attractive ‘in person’.

I started searching for them on and off and finally found a set of four of the sodas.  Very lovely.  The etch is quite complex and the blank has a nice solid look and feel.

I was lucky to find another four of the sodas.  I am hoping to find some water goblets at some point.  I am still using my Belle le Rose stems for my dressier table settings, but I think that this pattern could prove to be as, or even more, beautiful.

 

 

Update to……………………….Heisey #3390 – Carcassonne with Etch 448 – Old Colony in Sahara

I have just discovered that I have been spelling the name ‘Carcassonne’ incorrectly for years.  Only used one ‘n’ instead of two.  Got it now!

I have had this line with the Titania etch and saw this goblets recently and was intrigued by the plate etch – Lafayette – #451.

According to the Encyclopedia of Heisey Glassware volume one: Etchings & Carvings by Louise W, Ream, Neila M. Bredehoft and Thomas H. Bredehoft the etch was in production between 1930 and 1937.  Given that Carcassonne was in production between 1930-1941, this stem is at least 84 years old!  I bought a set of four and they are pristine.  Someone(s) have taken good care of them all these years.

The authors also shared this quote from a Heisey ad:  “Most delightful is the chintz pattern etching in Early American spirit of the fine lead blown glassware…composed of a series of old chintz patterns artistically executed.  A ship in full sail, a man on horseback, a Colonial girl, a pagoda are among the motifs admirably used in the general pattern.”

The etch was also used on the Empress line – #1401.

This goblet is a tall goblet.  There was a shorter one with the same 11 ounce capacity.  I think I prefer the taller style.

The Carcassonne line also came in flamingo, sahara, cobalt bowl/crystal stem and foot, and with an alexandrite bowl/crystal stem and foot. Scarce in amber and rare in a combination of sahara and alexandrite.

Heisey #3390, Carcassone with Etch #448 in Sahara (5)Isn’ t this cute?  This is a little sherberts in Heisey’s line #3390 – Carcassonne.  I really like the square feet.  This line was in production from  1930 – 1938.

They are etched with etch #448 – Old Colony.  I have acquired water goblets on a different blank with this etch – yet to be seen.  I like the bead detail on the stem as well.

The colour is Heisey’s yellow – Sahara.  Each company’s colours are slightly different.  I find that the yellows aren’t my favourite.  I like the blues and greens the best I think.

Nonetheless these are really sweet.
