Heisey #1401 Empress Cream and Sugar
| Heisey #1401 Empress Cream and Sugar |
Heisey Empress #1401 produced 1930-1938. A major tableware line which was widely used for Heisey etchings and cuttings. Originally called "Lilies of France" it can be identified by its embossed fan and series of beads. Made in Crystal, Moongleam, Flamingo, Sahara, Alexandrite, Tangerine, and Cobalt. A wide range of shapes, with several pieces made in both square and circular design. A dolphin finial on the covered lemon, Lion head bowl, Lion claw footed candlestick, and a number of items with dolphin head feet all combine to make this a very unique pattern. Most of the items are marked with the "Diamond H" On dolphin footed items, look carefully on the inside leg.
After 1938, Heisey re-worked a number of the molds giving them an internal optic and then declared them to be a new pattern called Queen Ann (1509) which they only produced in Crystal. While there is an identifiable difference between most Empress and Queen Ann items in Crystal, as current industry practice is to consider all Crystal items to be Queen Ann.
In 1981 Imperial Glass Corporation made the three-toed candlestick in their "Sunshine Yellow" color for Collectors Guild. Even though marked with a CG in a circle, these candlesticks are sometimes confused with Heisey's. They also produced the dolphin footed floral bowl in Sunshine Yellow and a Jug in Green. Both of these items were also marked with the circle CG. |
