Gifts of Glassware

A. H. Heisey & Co. (1896-1957) was an innovator and leader in the glassmaking industry. In addition to introducing hundreds of new designs in glassware and numerous improvements to the glass production process, Heisey also pioneered new ways to market glassware as one of the first glass manufacturers to advertise directly to the public. In the 1920’s, during the height of popularity of colored glassware, they produced “Gifts of Glassware” which was sent to customers on request to illustrate the wide variety of glassware and colors offered by Heisey. This volume contains full color reprints of the 1926, 1928 and 1930 editions. The 1926 and 1928 editions featured the colors of Flamingo, Moongleam and Hawthorne. The 1930 edition focused on the new colors of Sahara and Alexandrite as well as the earlier colors.
