Heisey Renaissance (3)

Happy Thanksgiving!  I am grateful for the many important blessing in my life – family, friends, health, a lovely home, good job, etc.

Perhaps lesser, but still a blessing, I am grateful to be able to surround myself with beautiful pieces of craftsmanship.  Like these glasses…….

Renaissance – the rebirth.  No idea why this etch was given this name.

The pattern was introduced in 1918 and discontinued in 1939.  The patent was granted to Joseph Balda, on behalf of Heisey, on October 25, 1921.

This is a sample of double plate etching.

Heisey Renaissance

This is the water goblet.  The etch is a cameo of a nymph (?) on a branch.  Unlike some of the other Heisey etches, all of the cameos have the same figure.  Very pretty.

012If you have never visited the Indiana Glass/Carnival Heaven website in search of information on the Indiana Glass, then stop by.  They provide a wealth of photos and history.  They sell a CD-ROM, which I have, with broad set of reference material.
I found this goblet there.  These are common and I normally wouldn’t pick them up as they aren’t to my taste, but one of my daughter friend likes milk glass and I thought she might enjoy them.
From Carnival Heaven I learned that the molds for the “Harvest” line were created in the 1950s.  The line is quite extensive.  The milk glass items were called “Colony Harvest” and they were produced during the 1950s and 1960s.
The items were trademarked Lancaster Colony Corporation and were never sold under the Indiana Glass moniker.
“The “Colony Harvest” pattern was obtained most often through the redemption of S & H green stamps in the midwestern states. You received a stamp for each $1.00 you spent and when a book of 300 or so was filled, you could redeem it for merchandise.”
I remember these stamps from back in the 1960s.  I don’t know if they had the same name in Canada or not.  I’ll have to ask my mom!
