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.

Acid Etch, Bowl, Fairfax, Plate Etched, Topaz Glass, Versailles

It was just recently that I picked up this pretty little bowl, but I already cannot recall where I got it.

This line #2375 Fairfax was produced by Fostoria from 1929-1936.

The etch is #278 Versailles and the colour is topaz.

Devil, French Glass, Gargoyle, Imperial Glass, Vase

I have bought so much glass over the last few months it has been quite alarming!  I almost think I am developing a glass addiction issue.  Ha ha!  That ship sailed a really long time ago.  But I have bought some items I have never had, along with a few that I have owned and lots in colour.  I finally have started taking some photos.

This interesting piece was acquired at the relatively new antique mart in Ajax – the Vintage Vendors.  I had never visited since its opening but found myself in Ajax last week.  What a great place!  I was very impressed.  It is nicely curated, clean and has a great variety of items, including a nice selection of glass.

I was sure that this was a piece of Portieux Vallerysthal (PV), name unknown.  I have subsequently found that Imperial glass made a piece that is similar or in fact exact.  It seems to have been called ‘Drama’ or ‘Devil and Roses’.  I don’t know its real name or line.  But since there is no Imperial mark on my vase I am assuming that it is the earlier piece by PV.

It is interesting with faces of gargoyles/devils on two sides and flowers on the other two sides.  I’d sure like to see it in PV’s other colours.
