IMG_5643Found this cute little jar recently.  I don’t buy Corn flower often as it is so common in our area, but I liked the jar.

I haven’t been able to determine which company made the blank, but I like the total effect.  I haven’t put anything in it, but I think it will look pretty with white cotton puff balls in it.

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).

Pink Corn Flower Bowl (2)When the weather is nice, the garden beckons.  It is hard to want to stay in and take photos of pieces of glass, regardless of their beauty.  It rained today so I am trying to get caught up a bit.

A two week road trip only resulted in two purchases of glass.  You just don’t see the pieces that I was seeking in Canada.  Lots of beautiful furniture in Quebec and the Maritimes and lots of pressed Canadian glass, but not much of the American plate etched pieces that I admire.

I bought this pretty comport in Toronto awhile back.  It is featured in Walter T. Lemiski’s book – Elegant Glass with Corn Flower (page 56).  It is the 8 1/2 inch comport and stands 4 5/8 inches tall.  No idea which company made the blank.  If anyone knows – please share!
