Hawkes, Wabash, Water Goblet

Saw this stem online and was curious about the decoration.  I knew it was the Wabash – #439 – water goblet but couldn’t find the cutting in any of my Heisey reference books.

I posted it on the FB site – Vintage Glass Identification – and a couple people suggested that it cut have been cut by Hawkes.  I have added two links below with more information about the Hawkes Company.

I have seen online a few pieces with Hawkes’ cuttings and they are spectacular.  This decoration is attractive, but I wouldn’t put it in the ‘spectacular’ category.

I have discovered that there is a second volume of the Bredehoft and Ream book of Heisey cuttings and etchings.  It is on my wishlist, but I haven’t found a copy at the right price yet.

Just for interest I have included a link to the Every Day Elegant Glass Forum.  The link leads to a copy of Joseph Balda’s patent for the Wabash stem.

Over the years I have wavered between thinking that I preferred Heisey’s stems to Cambridge’s or vice versa.  In the end I tend to feel compelled to pick up stems by Heisey.

I have owned a few on the Wabash blank, but never this etch – #166.

According to Ream, Bredehoft and Bredehoft in Encyclopedia of Heisey Glassware: volume one, this pantograph etch was introduced circa 1920 and discontinued by 1937.

It was difficult to capture the design effectively, but it is very pretty.
