: Heisey #300.5 Peerless Vase #5. This vase has been swung to 17 inches tall. Base measures 4 inches. Heisey advertising for pattern #300 included the byline "The Pattern Without a Peer" thus the name Peerless. This was Heisey's first colonial style pattern. The September 1899 edition of the trade magazine China, Glass and Lamps included the following statement: "A. H. Heisey & Co....have departed boldly and radically from the beaten path in designing their new line of crystal tableware, which they call No. 300. The line is severely plain being a reproduction of the old pure lead flint cut glassware of our fathers, with its limpid honest crystal, its broad cut flute, and regularly scalloped edge."
