Heisey Empress with Silver Overlay (4)I picked this piece up in Florida (I think).  For some reason I thought it was a piece of New Martinsville Line #4200 Radiance.  But of course it is Heisey’s Empress blank.

This is what Neila Bredehoft said in her book The Collector’s Encyclopedia of Heisey Glass 1925-1938:

“Dates:  1930-1938

Colors:  Moongleam, flamingo, sahara, alexandrite, tangerine, cobalt, marigold

Widely used for Heisey etches and cuttings”

Interesting comment – “Early Heisey ads also referred to it as “Lilies of France” pattern”

This piece is the 5 1/2 inch mayonnaise bowl.  Notice the dolphin feet.

The silver overlay is very pretty.Heisey Empress with Silver Overlay (3)

Unknown Pink Bowl (2)My guy brought this home for me.  I guess it is attractive inits own way, but it doesn’t do a thing for me.

I don’t know if it is old or not.  I posted it on a Facebook site that I belong to and asked if it was recognized.  Someone suggested that it was made by Walther Glass of Germany and was a pattern called Belvedere.Unknown Pink Bowl (3)

I found the Belvedere pattern, but it doesn’t look to be a match.  In the absence of much response I think it is likely relatively modern.  Although there are some nice details, I think it will find a home at the local thrift shop, or with a neighbour who likes pink glass.

Fire King Jadeite BowlI picked up this little bowl somewhere.  It is intended to travel out to British Columbia when I go visit my daughter.  I bought her a piece of Mckee awhile back and thought she would like this little bowl.

I don’t know anything about jadeite pieces.  I do know that there are alot of reproductions on the market.  I have no reference texts to validate any pieces.

It is marked with Fire King’s mid to late 1950s mark, according to this ebay article – Buying Fire King Jeannette Jadite Jadeite.  Fire KIng Jadeite Bowl 2I don’t know if marks have been reproduced or not.  So…its origin remains unknown.

In any event, I paid less than $5.00 for this little bowl, my daughter will love it regardless, so it doesn’t really matter.
