Ever a leader in marketing, Heisey was one of the first glass companies in the United States to mark its glass pieces with a trademark. The iconic Diamond H found on many Heisey pieces was designed by A.H. Heisey’s eldest son, George Duncan Heisey around 1900. He modeled it after his fraternity’s (Psi Upsilon) diamond symbol. Shortly after designing the Diamond H, the Heisey Glass Company began using it in advertisements and it was officially registered by the U.S. Patent Office on August 6, 1901. Originally the mark was large and placed in a prominent location, usually the center bottom of a piece. An advertisement from 1913 directs the buyer to look for the mark on every piece as a type of hallmark that guaranteed quality glassware. Over time the mark became smaller and the placement could vary. Sometimes it is found behind a foot or on a stem or rim. Occasionally the mark appears on both sides of a divided item like a two-part relish. Not all pieces of Heisey glass made after 1900 are marked in the glass. Later advertisements acknowledged this fact by stating the mark was either “embossed on the glass or on an adhesive label.” The Diamond H remains an enduring symbol of the company and adds an exciting element to the search for Heisey glass by collectors today.

We’re excited to share another new, rare donation to the Heisey Glass Museum’s permanent collections! This latest acquisition is a No. 300 Peerless low-footed goblet in Alexandrite donated by Karen Taylo in memory of Emogene Shomaker, a founding member of the Heisey Collectors of America.

The Nos. 300 and 300 ½ Peerless pattern lines were Heisey’s first foray into colonial patterns in 1899 and they would go on to be some of Heisey’s longest produced and most extensive patterns. However, most Peerless pieces were manufactured in crystal, and it is rare to find any in color, especially a color as uncommon as Alexandrite, making this goblet a unique find.

A couple weeks ago we featured Heisey’s No. 1447 Rococo pattern so it’s only fitting that we now highlight their No. 4044 New Era pattern also introduced in 1934.

As mentioned in our previous post, Rococo and New Era were dramatically different pattern lines. New Era, originally called Modern, was a truly Art Deco line which set it apart from Heisey’s many conservative patterns. The rectangular plate with a circular center was inspired by a pottery piece designed by Jean Luc of Paris. The full New Era line consisted of roughly 25 pieces produced from 1934-1941. Production of New Era largely stopped because of WWII but the candlestick, celery, and stemware were re-introduced in 1944 and manufactured until Heisey’s closure in 1957. The New Era candlestick was by far the line’s most popular piece, so much so that the Imperial Glass Corporation continued to reproduce it until 1972. New Era was made largely in crystal with many Heisey etchings and cuttings. However, stemware was made with Cobalt bowls only in 1934 making these pieces rare and much sought after by collectors today.

See No. 4044 New Era and other striking Heisey patterns at the Heisey Glass Museum open Tuesdays-Saturdays from 10am-4pm.

We’re happy to share another special new donation to the Heisey Glass Museum’s collections. During our most recent convention in June the Buckeye Heisey Collectors Club donated this rare No. 4054 Coronation 10oz soda with Saturn optic in Zircon. The donation was made in memory of past Heisey Collectors of America president David Blair who passed away last September. Blair was a great supporter of the Heisey Glass Museum. His passing was a tremendous loss to the Heisey community and we are grateful to be able to now share this unique piece in his memory.

Coronation was a blown barware line produced by Heisey from 1935 to 1957. The soda was patented on February 7, 1940 with T.C. Heisey listed as the designer. Most pieces were made plain but rarely Coronation can be found with a Saturn optic. Only a few sodas were made in Zircon and Dawn, making this new acquisition doubly unique.

See our latest acquisitions and more unique Heisey pieces at the museum open Tuesdays-Saturdays from 10am-4pm.

Normally when one hears “Rococo” it brings to mind the 18th century European movement of art and architecture known for its lightness, elegance, and curving natural forms. The style was first made popular in Paris as a rejection of the heavier, darker, and more serious Baroque fashions. The No. 1447 Rococo Heisey pattern is a play on this style of art and architecture and was introduced in 1934 at the same time as the decidedly modern No. 4044 New Era pattern. Both are a testament to the shifting design preferences of the 1930s.

Rococo is a smaller pattern line with about 20 pieces, almost all featuring cameos and scrolls. One notable exception is the candlestick which does not feature a cameo though its central gap looks like one. Rococo pieces are largely found in crystal and Sahara. As a fundraiser, HCA commissioned the Imperial Glass Corporation to reissue Rococo plates as convention souvenirs in the 1970s. These can be found in Amber, Blue Haze, Verde, Nut Brown, Ultra Blue, and Crystal depending on issue date. Fenton also later produced a basket using the Rococo soda mould for HCA.
