I have this great book called Heisey Glass: 1896-1957 by Neila and Tom Bredehoft. The Bredehofts have given alot of interesting information about different Heisey lines. Regarding Lariat, they write:
“Lariat is the original name, although Heisey first referred ti the pattern as Gordian Knot……..The inspiration for this pattern was supposedly from the twisting of a heavy gold watch chain.” (page 300).
I can honestly say that I would have guessed that a gold chain inspired the ‘loops’.
Paden City Center Handle Server – Maya – Line #221

It’s been such a long time since I have posted on my blog that I can’t even recall where I bought this pretty piece. I have such a weakness for these center handle servers. I rarely use them or sell them and they are difficult to store, but they call out to me!
This one had such a pretty handle and such a rich colour that I couldn’t resist it.
Turns out that it was made by Paden City, likely in the 1930s. It has a cutting with foliage and a berry/flower (?) – name unknown.
