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.”

Found this pretty pair in pink.  Think this might be Fostoria’s ‘Rose’.

My husband and I took a road trip to the Poconos this month.  We stopped in many antique shops and I have brought home along of new (old) glass.  Who knew that I would acquire another piece of Oakwood so soon after the last purchase.

This pretty compote is in the blue.  This really is an attractive etch and the iridescent colours make the blue glass sing.

I had my eye on this pair of candle holders at Around the Block for some time.  I had to wait a few months until the price dropped but they finally came home with me.  I have always been fascinated with the Oak Leaf brocaded plate etch – #290.  I just plain like oak trees and acorns period!

I found this interesting information on the brocaded etches at Carnival Glass 101:

“Perhaps the most popular and most extensive Brocade line was the “Oak Leaf” pattern, plate etching #290, which was presented as “Oak Wood”, decoration #72, when the azure (green) color was iridized and trimmed with gold. This pattern was introduced in 1928 and discontinued in 1931. It was also made in rose (dawn), ebony and crystal.”

These mushroom candle holders are the orchid.  The iridized colours are pink, green, blue and yellow.  Very striking – I would love to see the stemware.

I haven’t looked at this listing for a long time.  But now that I am looking at the photo I think that I misnamed it originally.  I think that the piece is from Cambridge Glass with etch Rose Point.

I no longer have the piece to verify the ID, but I think Rose Point is the better bet.

Original Listing – May 24, 2012

I’ve a number of pieces of this pattern – water goblets, one champagne stem, and various serving pieces.  I bought this at an auction in Brighton with the other serving pieces.

I can’t find this particular dish online, but I am guessing that it is a handled cake plate.  It has a one inch base, so it is likely for cakes or cookies.  These pieces are pretty, but they take up so much storage room.  Right now this one lives in a cedar chest with other pieces (and other collectible stuff) that have no public showing.
