I am always surprised when I walk into a local shop and find a piece of Heisey or Cambridge glass.  This cute little creamer caught my eye immediately.

According to the reference book: Heisey Glass 1896-1957 by Neila and Tom Bredehoft this pattern, #355 – Quator – dates 1913-1935. The creamer is marked with the Heisey Diamond H in the interior.

The rim etch and gilt which was likely added by a company other than Heisey.  Haven’t tried to find the pattern, but I likely should look through my books on Lotus and Wheeling and see if it is there.

I’ve never seen a bottom like this.  I verified with some Facebook glassaholics that this was evidence that the bottom was not polished.

The etch and gold on this piece are spectacular.  I have never had many (if any) pieces with decorations by Wheeler and I am very appreciative of the beauty and workmanship on this piece.  I also like the name.  I love the bright yellow, cheerful Coreopsis in my own garden.  Unfortunately ferns never seem to do well in my yard.  I don’t understand it as I always assume that anything that runs rampant in the forest should be easy to grow!

I don’t know who made the plate.  It is pink and is an underplate for a bowl of some sort.  I haven’t tried to find out, but I guess I should, for interest sake.

I have the book – Wheeling Decorating Co. by James L. Webster.  It has lots of beautiful photos and information.  A great buy for anyone looking to identify decorations on their own pieces.
