Heisey Yeoman Sugar (1)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).

 

 

 

 

Dominion Glass’ Scotties Tumblers

Scotty Tumblers (2)It is so handy when a piece has a maker’s mark.  Nice to see Dominion’s (of Montreal) cursive “D’ on the bottom of these tumblers.  There are a number of  variations of the “Scotty Dogs” tumblers made, in the ’40s and ’50s, by companies such as Hazel-Atlas, Federal, Libbey, Bartlett-Collins, etc. and it is difficult to pinpoint which company made which pattern.

The Scotty lines were barware for the most part – tumblers, pitchers, ashtrays, mugs and ice tubs, although Hazel-Atlas made a Scotty baby bottle.

I gather that tumblers such as these, with red checkerboard designs, are referred to as “Purina” style (don’t know why).  Maybe Purina dogfood bags have/had this design.

I like these glasses.  These little pups are frisky and cheerful looking!

 

Cristal d’Arques Cordial – Rosaline Pattern

Cristal D'Arque - Rosaline (1)You see these swirling pink glasses, bowls, plates, tumblers, etc. frequently.  My husband picked up a number of these pieces at a going-out-of-business sale.  This is the 3 7/8 inch cordial.

According to an entry on Wikipedia, Cristal d’Arques is a brand of Arc International, a privately held, by the Durand family, company in France.  According to the article, Arc international is the leading international manufacturer of glass and crystal.  Other frequently seen brands include Luminarc and Arcoroc.

I don’t believe that this pattern is in production any longer, and I am guessing this stem has a 1970s/1980s date.
