Heisey Glass Sugar & Creamer with Silver trim

Heisey Silver trimmed Art Deco Sugar & Creamer Set This is a beautiful example of Heisey Glassware.The A.H. Heisey Company was formed in Newark, Ohio, in 1895 by A.H. Heisey. The factory provided fine quality glass tableware and decorative glass figurines. Both pressed and blown glassware were made in a wide variety of patterns and colors. The company was operated by Heisey and his sons until 1957, when the factory closed. Heisey glassware is readily identifiable by its high clarity and brilliance. It is highly finished through the process of firepolishing, with polished bottoms. Many of the pressed pieces appear to be cut crystal on casual inspection, due to the high quality of the glass and the crispness of the molding. The majority of the pieces are impressed with the company logo, a raised capital letter "H" inscribed in a diamond of approximately 1/4 inch (6 mm) in length. This mark is found on the bottom of most large pieces and on the base or stem of drinking glasses and compotes. The pieces measure: Creamer- 5 3/8" from handle to spout, with the inside opening measuring 4" X 2 3/4 " high Sugar bowl- 6 1/4 " from handle to handle, with the inside opening measuring 3 1/2" X 2 1/4" high
