I have always wanted to own one of these goblets but generally the prices are too steep.\u00a0 Came across a pair on ebay at a price I could live with.<\/p>\n

I have long wondered why they always seem to be so expensive.\u00a0 When I was travelling in the U.S. in July I visited the lovely Margaret Lane Antiques shop in New Concord, Ohio.<\/p>\n

The owner, Lynn Welker, is a very knowledgeable dealer.\u00a0 He specializes in Cambridge Glass but had quite a number of Heisey pieces as well as others from other companies.<\/p>\n

I asked him why these stems seem so costly.\u00a0 After all they are fairly plain.\u00a0 His response was the colour.\u00a0 I gather Heisey didn’t make alot of pieces in the cobalt and people like this colour.\u00a0 He also told me that Heisey make few coloured pieces with cuttings and that those pieces tend to be costly when found.<\/p>\n

The stems are larger than I had expected and they do make a statement.\u00a0 I have a cabinet in my living room and most pieces are in colour.\u00a0 Almost everyone sees and comments on the cobalt stems first.\u00a0 The rest are various shades of pink, amber, yellow, and Heisey’s Zircon.\u00a0 The cobalt just pops!<\/p>\n
