Update to……….Heisey Rose Etched Water Goblets

Floral, Roses

I sold these goblets (below) quite awhile ago and haven’t really thought about buying any other pieces with the Rose etch.  However, I came across this piece – the jam/jelly –  in Florida and thought that the etch was nicely showcased.

I believe that the line is Waverly.

Isn’t this a thing of beauty?  This is Heisey’s Rose.  Of particular interest is the stem with it’s rose knob thing.  I am sure there is an official technical term for it.  This is a very sturdy stem.  Striking.  I bought four online recently.  I like them, but don’t know if I would buy any other pieces.  Here’s what replacements.com has to say about the etch……

“One of the most popular patterns Heisey Glass Co. ever produced, Heisey Rose was manufactured between 1949 and 1957, when the company closed.  This was a time of great transition in the tableware industry in the United States, when more and more Americans were turning toward a more casual lifestyle, and posed sometimes insurmountable challenges to American glass makers, especially in the face of stiff competition from manufacturers overseas.

In 1842 A. H. Heisey and his parents emigrated to the United States from Germany, settling in Merrittown, PA, near Pittsburgh, a glass-making center during this period. As an adult, Heisey worked as a glass blower for the Cascade Glass Co. in Pittsburgh, but left his job to serve with the 155th Infantry Division of Pennsylvania during the Civil War. Soon after the close of the war, Heisey returned to Pennsylvania to find work in the glass industry. Hired by the firm Ripley and Co. as a salesman, it was there that Heisey met his future wife, Susan.

Susan Duncan was the daughter of the controlling partner of Ripley and Co. Her father would later buy the company outright, renaming it Duncan and Sons. Over the next few years, Heisey worked closely with his father-in-law running the firm. Duncan and Sons joined the U.S. Glass Company in 1893, a combine of glass-producing factories throughout the Ohio River Valley. Named to the board of directors of Duncan and Sons, Heisey served as the company’s managing director in charge of sales. It was during this time that Heisey decided to open his own factory.

In 1895 Heisey began building his factory in Newark, OH. Construction was beset with a number of building and financial problems. The factory produced its first line of glassware in April 1896. In 1900 the company began using its famous trademark, an “H” placed in the center of a diamond. The diamond “H” logo was designed by A. H. Heisey’s son, George Duncan, who based the design on his college fraternity pin. The diamond “H” logo would remain in use until Heisey Glass Co. locked its doors for the final time on Christmas day, 1957.”

Update to …….. Fostoria – June Etch – #279

Bows, Creamer, Floral, June, Pink, Plate Etched, Wine Glass, Yellow Glass

Was up in St. Jacobs at the St. Jacobs Antique Market a couple weekends ago and came across a quartet of these pretty stems.  They are 3 ounce wine glasses.

The etch is #279 – June and the line is #5098 (patented in 1928).  A copy of the patent is available for review in the gallery of the Elegant and Everyday Glass Forum.

The depth of the etch is interesting.  Three of the glasses are lightly etched and the fourth shows much heavier etching.  I have tried to show this in the images.  The larger photo has the lighter etching. 

Such a pretty yellow.

I had the sugar at one point but sold it.  June is a very pretty etch.  This is in pink and it comes in blue, two yellows and clear as well.  This etch is similar to another of Fostoria’s patterns – Romance.  I gather that the pink and blue are the most popular colours for collectors.  This is the only piece I have of this etch.  Pretty, very romantic.

Floral, Relish Tray

Here’s a wee 2-compartment relish dish also with the Rose Point etch.  This is Cambridge’s line #3500/60.

This little piece would be very pretty on a festive table with someone’s best china.  I haven’t used it yet, but perhaps at Thanksgiving it will make an appearance.  I bought this, along with a few other pieces at a local auction.  I haven’t seen the corresponding stems, but I bet the water and wine goblets are lovely.

Doesn’t it have a lovely shape?
