Heisey Empress with Silver Overlay (4)I picked this piece up in Florida (I think).  For some reason I thought it was a piece of New Martinsville Line #4200 Radiance.  But of course it is Heisey’s Empress blank.

This is what Neila Bredehoft said in her book The Collector’s Encyclopedia of Heisey Glass 1925-1938:

“Dates:  1930-1938

Colors:  Moongleam, flamingo, sahara, alexandrite, tangerine, cobalt, marigold

Widely used for Heisey etches and cuttings”

Interesting comment – “Early Heisey ads also referred to it as “Lilies of France” pattern”

This piece is the 5 1/2 inch mayonnaise bowl.  Notice the dolphin feet.

The silver overlay is very pretty.Heisey Empress with Silver Overlay (3)
