Heisey Old Colony Sahara (3)These two photos illustrate Heisey’s Old Dominion blank/shape – #3390.

The first stem is in Heisey’s yellow shade called Sahara.  It has been etched with the Old Colony pattern – #448.

The bowls of both have a diamond optic., as seen more closely below.

The second stem has no etch on its clear bowl.  The stem is shaded in Heisey’s green called Moongleam.Heisey Old Dominion (2)

These are very pretty glasses, produced in the 1930s.

Even though they are the same shape and size, the colour and etching make them look very different.

I have to correct an earlier posting.  When I posted these glasses in January I referred to them as Boopies.  I was recentlyreading about Berwick, or Boopies, when I realized that the foot was not in fact a Boopie foot.  These glasses are Bubble Feet, official name – Early American.  Still pretty, and still by Anchor Hocking.

This explains my earlier confusion about the rounded shape.  The Boopie is more angular and I couldn’t figure out the more rounded shape.  You’d think I would have been more curious and investigated further!  But no.  According to replacements.com this is the liquor cocktail.  Always good to learn something new!!

Paden City Spring Orchard Cocktail (4)Another little piece of Spring Orchard (etch #545).  This is the cocktail glass with a ‘trumpet’ or ‘corset’ shape.

The glass of this piece is very clear and particularly bright.  I think the pattern of this reverse acid etch is quite clear in this shot.

Paden City Spring Orchard Decanter 6This caught my eye online.  Pretty etch composed of birds and flowers.  Paden City Spring Orchard Decanter 6I have tried to show the detail with this little close up.

The etch is Spring Orchard which was made after 1935.  The Paden City company, from Paden City, West Virginia, closed in 1951.

I have seen a reference to a Cordial, Tilt Decanter in this line.  I am guessing that this is what this piece is.  It’s not a large piece – only stands 6 inches to the top of the handle and is 4 inches wide.

It is pretty.
