I likely should have included some other interesting information from the Bredehoft’s text:  production date 1942-1957; colour in crystal, rare black plates in black; designer Horace King; introduced at a show in Pittsburgh; and, designed to compete with Imperial’s ‘Candlewick’ line.

The candlesticks came in two and three light designs.  This one is obviously the three light.  The ‘Gordian knot’ or ‘Lariat’ is is pretty obvious with this piece.

I have this great book called Heisey Glass: 1896-1957 by Neila and Tom Bredehoft.  The Bredehofts have given alot of interesting information about different Heisey lines.  Regarding Lariat, they write:

“Lariat is the original name, although Heisey first referred ti the pattern as Gordian Knot……..The inspiration for this pattern was supposedly from the twisting of a heavy gold watch chain.”  (page 300).

I can honestly say that I would have guessed that a gold chain inspired the ‘loops’.

I was scrolling through the local Facebook Marketplace and came across a few pieces of amber glass for sale.  I didn’t know what this piece was, but it caught my eye.  I am a sucker for amber glass.  This piece has a real rich honey colour.

Turns out that piece was produced by the Imperial Glass Company, of Bellaire, Ohio, circa 1925-1930.

This is Imperial’s line #320/2 and is also listed as #313/2. It is known as both Double Scroll and Packard.

When I see pieces here in Canada, I always wonder how they got here.  Sold here?  Brought here?

This colour of this candlestick holder a rich amber.  Very compelling.

It was produced by the Fostoria Glass Company between 1924-1953.

The pattern is line #2324 and the etch is #276 Beverly.

I love these intricate etches.
