Heisey Pressed Ware Catalog 211 and Blown Ware Catalog 16 with Supplement

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 publications provide detailed information about the available items in each pattern line, including pattern number, size, description, colors, decorations and wholesale pricing. Pressed Ware Catalog No. 211 and Blown Ware Catalog No. 16 was issued in 1935. The catalogs contain illustrations for a variety of pressed ware pattern lines such as Narrow Flute, Tudor, Greek Key, Octagon, Yeoman, Empress, Old Sandwich, Ipswich, Victorian and Ridgeleigh. Blown ware patterns include Wabash, King Arthur, Old Dominion, Gascony, Spanish, Jamestown, New Era and Coronation among many others. A variety of miscellaneous items such as vases, candlesticks and bar ware are also illustrated. A supplement issued in June 1937 focused on Ridgeleigh, Stanhope, Saturn, Coleport and Kohinoor.
