Heisey Minuet Water Goblet

I ordered this online recently.  I had never seen it in the ‘flesh’ before and decided I wanted to acquire a piece.  The stems can be costly, for just a look, but I came across the single glass and thought it was worth the price.  And boy is it ever.  Replacements.com identifies the production time frame as 1939-1956.  The etch is composed of four ‘fancy’ musicians or dancers and a pretty pattern etched in between.  If you want a clear perspective, check out this image on the Heisey Glass museum site – http://www.heiseymuseum.org/etchings.html#cat3.  I’ve added the photos to give you a sense of the etch and to show the pretty stem.

I wouldn’t mine acquiring a few more of these stems for a set.  But I have to say that I do not like the shape of the bowl as much as other stems I have.  I like the detail on the stem however.  I do like the Heisey pieces, and I have a few of Frontenac, Orchid and Pied Piper, very much.

Jelly

I have already posted this etch in another piece.   But you can never see too much of these beautiful pieces of glass.  They look different depending on the size and shape.  I really wanted to show this stem.  It is called “Wave”.   It truly is gorgeous.  Also have thrown in the bird’s-eye view as well.  This is a cool dish.  I can hardly imagine having a dish specifically for jelly!!!!!  I have never used this.  Bought it to sell, although I have had no luck so far.  But I don’t have to…..that’s the beauty of collecting.  You just collect for the sake of the beauty of the item.  I have water goblets in this etch but they are at my mom’s house.  I’ve sold various bowls and some pretty little parfait/juice glasses in the past.  For awhile I thought I’d amass a large collection for myself.  But…..I keep changing my mind.

Reference book

I came home from work to find this exciting parcel on my kitchen table.  I am expecting three books and I’m looking forward to their arrival.  This one came first.  I didn’t have any books on Heisey and I seem to be picking up Heisey pieces lately.

I’ve just had a quick look, but I am a bit disappointed not to see more about the individual etches.  Lots about the blanks (shapes) however.  This is supposed to be THE authoritative title on Heisey Glass.  I’ll wait until the weather turns cold again and cuddle under my Hudson Bay throw, that my son gave me for Christmas, and read this book.  I bought it through www.abebooks.com.  If you haven’t ordered books from there, check it out.  Lots of variety on prices.
