Over the years I have wavered between thinking that I preferred Heisey’s stems to Cambridge’s or vice versa. In the end I tend to feel compelled to pick up stems by Heisey.

I have owned a few on the Wabash blank, but never this etch – #166.

According to Ream, Bredehoft and Bredehoft in Encyclopedia of Heisey Glassware: volume one, this pantograph etch was introduced circa 1920 and discontinued by 1937.

It was difficult to capture the design effectively, but it is very pretty.

I can’t recall where I picked this candlestick up. The colour is what caught my eye. It is a pretty, deep green. Not emerald, not lime, but some bright shade in between.

When I first bought it I only had one candlestick reference book. But I was inspired to add to my single collection and have since acquired four others. I highly recommend the 3 volumes of the ‘Glass Candlestick Book’ series by Tom Felt, and Elaine and Rich Stoer.

I find it challenging to identify these columnar candlesticks. There are so many variations. In fact in the Felt et al. book lookalikes for this piece are identified as having been made by Heisey, Lancaster and Westmoreland.

However I have been am confident that this is Jeannette Glass and was part of their console set #26-97.
