Heisey coventry with belvedere

I had long been looking for the water goblets from this pattern and with this etch.  I was so happy to find this set of stems.  While I am still looking for the tall goblets, these short ones will do in the interim.  They are beautiful!

I haven’t been able to find any more stemware with this beautiful etch.  But I did find this divided bowl and tray in the Fern line.

Still looking for the water goblets in the Coventry line.

Heisey Belvedere (2)These two glasses – the cordial (smaller glass) and the soda – show Heisey’s beautiful plate etch #500 – Belvedere.  The blank is line #4090 – Coventry.  This line had a brief production period of 1937-1939.

I was thrilled to find the cordials online.  They looked gorgeous in the photo, but they were far more attractive ‘in person’.

I started searching for them on and off and finally found a set of four of the sodas.  Very lovely.  The etch is quite complex and the blank has a nice solid look and feel.

I was lucky to find another four of the sodas.  I am hoping to find some water goblets at some point.  I am still using my Belle le Rose stems for my dressier table settings, but I think that this pattern could prove to be as, or even more, beautiful.

I have no idea of what happened to the blue version below.  I would have sworn that I had never owned this piece before.  This is obviously a sign of a ‘problem’!

This is the carnival version.  Piece 2914 – the Covered Candy Box – of the Harvest line.  Very pretty colour on this piece.

Re the age.  Hard to tell, Indiana made these pieces for many years.

This is a Depression era (I think) covered candy dish.

Indiana Glass Harvest Candy Box

The edging has an open lace pattern.  These pieces aren’t uncommon and can be found in a large range of colours and finishes and pieces.  I likely bought this because it is blue.  I have had a number of blue serving pieces.  I like to display them in the summer.  Blue seems like a summerish kind of colour!

Inwald Perforal Cream and Sugar Set

I picked up this cream and sugar with the tray recently while on a trip to the Niagara area.  I was drawn to the pretty shade of blue, but didn’t know anything about the set, including its age.

I looked at a number of online sources to no avail and then posted it, with a request for an ID, on the great Everyday and Elegant Glass Forum.  It only took a day before the set was identified.  What a great network of glass afficionados!

Turns out that this set was made  in the 1930s by a glass company called the Inwold Glassworks of Prague, Czechoslovakia.  Here is a wee bit of information in its history –  http://www.museumportheimka.cz/vystava/inwald-the-story-of-a-glassworks/.  The line is called Perforal.  No idea of the name of the colour.

I would never have found this ID on my own as it didn’t occur to me that it may be a set from Europe.
