Heisey Blown Ware Catalogue No. 14-B

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. Heisey catalogs and price lists were periodically issued by the company to enable glassware buyers to order their products for retail sale. The documents provide detailed information about the available items in each pattern line, including pattern number, size, description, colors, decorations and wholesale pricing. Heisey Blown Ware Catalogue No. 14-B was issued around 1930. It contains illustrations for twenty-one blown stemware pattern lines such as Gayoso, Wabash, Fairacre, King Arthur, Charter Oak, Trojan and Old Dominion among many others. Sixteen etchings are detailed such as Renaissance, Diana, Trojan and Empress. A variety of miscellaneous items such as vases, compotes, jugs and serving pieces are also illustrated. Four color pages focus on the newly introduced colors of Alexandrite and Sahara along with Flamingo and Moongleam. Supplemental pages issued around 1931-1932 illustrate Carcassonne, Duquesne and Gascony stemware lines along with popular etchings such as Old Colony and Chintz.
