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).

Val St. Lambert Simplicity Small Glasses (1)Val St. Lambert Cristalleries of Belgium was founded by Messieurs Kemlin and Lelievre in 1825 and is still in operation. The company is the official glassware supplier to His Majesty King Albert II of Belgium.

I gather that they are well known for their cut and colourful table and decorative glassware.

I came across these pieces in Deseronto at Karen Brown’s Antiques & Collectibles.  I have water goblets and a decanter, but haven’t gotten around to the photos yet.

I have seen photos of this stem in cobalt cut to clear as well.

There is an interesting 2007 online article – How Do You Know It’s Val_Saint-Lambert? – that has some gorgeous photos of Val St. Lambert pieces and shots of lookalikes from other companies.

These are very attractive stems.

Unknown Cut Engraved stemsI bought these (4) as part of a lot at a local auction.  I was hoping that I would find a mark to identify them, but no luck.Unknown Cut Engraved stems (4)

These pieces are very pretty.

They have engraving/etches (I never know the difference) and cuts.  The decorations extend from the bowl, down the stem and on to the base.

Unknown Cut Engraved stems (2)The glass is thin and there is a nice shape.

I would like to identify these pieces.  So…if anyone knows, please share!
