Heisey Yeoman Goblets

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.

Ran into another green piece this weekend.  A little salad plate, provenance unknown.  I no longer have the console, so can’t recall the exact colour.  The photo below looks dark, but in actuality I don’t think it was dark, although I am not sure if the two pieces are the exact same shade of green.

Corn Flower Green ConsoleI was very surprised to walk into the local St. Vincent de Paul shop to find this beautiful console bowl with the Corn Flower cutting.  I have never seen, in the wild, a piece cut with Corn Flower in any colour other than pink, hawthorne (Heisey) or the pilseners with the red bases.  Definitely never the green.

I don’t know the glass maker.   A photo of this piece shows up in Walter T. Lemiski’s book Elegant Glass with Corn Flower but does not indicate the provenance.

Very pretty.

This piece was manufactured at U.S. Glass’ Factory B (Bryce, McKee & Company, Pittsburgh) sometime during its operations between 1891 and the 1930s.

The colour is a deep emerald green and is very attractive.  I don’t think the photo shows it off very well.
