Colored Glass, Coloured Glass, Flamingo, Goblets, Green Glass, Moongleam, Pink Glass, Sahara, Stemware, Yellow Glass, Yeoman

These are not stems that are of the greatest quality nor are they particularly delicate.  But….for some reason they appeal to me.  Maybe it’s the variety of colours, or maybe it’s because they are not too costly!  Ha ha.

A little info from The Collectors Encyclopedia of Heisey Glass 1925-1938 by Neila Bredehoft:

“Production range for these lines #1184, 1185, 1186, 1187, 1189 was 1913-1957.  The name Yeoman was given by Heisey in later years.

The goblets are part of line #1184.”

I haven’t measured their capacity but I am guessing that they hold 8 ounces.  There is a 10 ounce goblet as well.

There are many pieces in the Yeoman line.  Some without an optic and some with the diamond optic seen on these stems.

Imperial Glass made amber goblets later with the Heisey molds.

I bought the Moongleam (green) and the Sahara (yellow) goblets on ebay and the Flamingo (pink) from the Carlisles of Sheridan, Indiana who deal only in Heisey glass (with a few pieces of Blendo as an aside).  If you want a treat, check out the half price videos on Youtube, weekly on Thursdays, where Kim Carlise displays a table full of glass that he is selling at half price.

Kim and his daughter are lovely to work with.  Kim also does some repair.  He cleaned up a cloudy decanter for me.  Turned out beautifully for a very reasonable price.

I have decided after looking at these three colours that I likely prefer the Moongleam over the other two colours.  But they are all pretty spiffy.

Surprises continue with a recent local buy of this pretty candle stick.  This is line #627 or #3400/627 produced circa 1927-1936.

I always like the etches that have names and wonder how many people collect their ‘namesakes’!

Cambridge Lorna Console (2)My man came home with this from the Courtice Flea Market.  It is a surprising find as we don’t see alot of Cambridge glass locally.  Which of course is our loss!

I had never seen any pieces with this particular etch.  It is a big etch and I gather can be found on a number of lines, and in different colours.

This piece is marked with the Cambridge “C” in a triangle.

Update – Fostoria Blank #877, Etch #277 – Vernon

Picked up this lovely amber centre handle server recently. I think the production dates were 1927-1941. The pattern is #2375 Fairfax.  This is the second one that I have found in amber.  Don’t know how many colours the piece was made in.

Fostoria VernonThe only coloured pieces by Fostoria that I have owned were stems in the Canary shade.  I bought these online and they were more beautiful than I had expected.  The green is very rich.  Not a deep forest green, but not as much yellow as some other greens.

In Hazel Weatherman’s book, Fostoria, its first fifty years, Ms. Weatherman reports that Fostoria introduced colour, including the colour green, to its pieces in 1924. Fostoria Vernon

The Vernon design, plate etching number 277 was introduced in 1927 and discontinued in 1934.  It was produced in orchid (1927-28), azure (1928-1934), amber (1927-1934) and green (1927-1934).

This line of tableware had many pieces.

Although the etch is not one of my all time favourites, it is attractive.  However it is the colour makes these stems very appealing.
