Lucky to have come across this on Facebook Marketplace. Just a quick call to my son who picked it up for me. Had to wait until two visit (forgot to pick it up the first time) and was happy to bring it home to display with my other coloured items with Corn Flower.
I believe this piece was part of Lancaster’s line #767.

Ordinarily I post repeat patterns on the same running post. But this piece deserves its own post.
I visited the Hamilton Antique Mall for the first time last month. It is a great place to visit. Three floors, clean and lots of variety. The visit was serendipitous. A lady on one of my Facebook groups was advertising a sale in her shop. I decided to visit. Bought this piece and two amazing Heisey pieces in zircon.
I saw this piece, tucked away in a back corner of a shelf, and was intrigued. When I pulled it out, I was very pleasantly thrilled.
This beautiful piece is the first piece of amber glass that I have owned with the Corn Flower cutting. The colour is a thick honey coloured amber.
I have put it up for sale in my Etsy shop, but if it doesn’t sell for a long time I won’t be disappointed. It looks lovely in my living room cabinet. It sparkles when the sun shines on it.

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.
