Colored Glass, Coloured Glass, Flamingo, Goblets, Green Glass, Moongleam, Pink Glass, Sahara, Stemware, Yellow Glass, Yeoman

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.

Cristallerie royale de Saint Louis Water Goblet in the Manon Line

Etched Glass, French Glass, Goblets, Manon

I have owned these two stems for a long time.  Not being able to identify them myself I finally decided to ask for help.  I submitted the photos to Replacements.com’s identification service (which is great!).  I received the information that the pieces were produced by Saint-Louis of France.

Replacements’ staff did not provide the line name or any information about an age so I decided to visit the Saint Louis website to see if there was any information.  I saw that there was a link to a Saint Louis Museum (where I must visit some day) and wondered if staff would provide an ID and additional information.

I was put in touch with a very nice woman who did facilitate the search and was advised that the line name is ‘Manon’ and that Manon was introduced in 1924 and in production until the 1930s.

Currently part of the Hermes group, Saint Louis has been in operation for a long time.  here’s some information from their webiste:

“Born in 1586, the Müntzthal glassworks become « Verrerie royale » (Royal Glassworks) in 1767 through Louis XV’s royal seal of approval.

Italy and Bohemia were already producing crystalline, but it was the Englishman George Ravenscroft who perfected the technique for making genuine crystal. In 1781, experts at Saint-Louis solved the mystery.

Since 1829, renamed « Cristallerie royale de Saint-Louis », the manufacture is exclusively devoted to the production of crystal-glass items.”

Great to have help to identify this lovely stem.

Indiana King’s Crown Clear Goblets

Goblets, Indiana, Sherberts

199I’ve already shown off a couple compotes, and some tumblers that I’ve acquired in this pattern. During our travels we saw lots of pieces in this pattern.

Even though it is called by several names –  King’s Crown, Crown, Thumbprint, Early American Crown and Thumbprint, I like King’s Crown.  Don’t know why…..perhaps the ‘regalness’ makes them sound so hoity toity!212

These were all, 20 pieces worth, thrift shop purchases. Goblets and sherberts.
