• Description:  This vintage Heisey creamer and open sugar set features the beautifully etched Orchid glass pattern, showcasing a delicate floral design with a footed base for added elegance. The glass etching is called Orchid #507, and has a wonderful "ruffled" border. These are footed and even the foot and handles have an etched floral design.  The bottom is embossed with the Heisey "H" inside the triangle but it is so tiny, it was almost impossible to capture in the pictures. Everything about this set says Vintage Glamour.  Highly collectible, this serveware combines timeless beauty with functional charm, making it an ideal choice for sophisticated table settings or as a distinguished hostess gift, or bridal shower gift.  Also makes the perfect gift for your favorite orchid grower!

A. H. Heisey was founded by Augustus H. Heisey, a German immigrant, in 1896 in Newark, Ohio.  Augustus had worked for Ripley and Company, a glass manufacturer, and was also a trained glass blower.  As he gained experience, he decided to build his own glass factory.   A. H. Heisey died in 1922, then his son, Wilson Heisey, took on the role of leading the company.  When Wilson died, in 1942, T. Clarence Heisey became the company's new president.  During it's most prosperous time, the company employed almost seven hundred people.  The company closed in December 1957 and sold all their assets to the Imperial Glass Company.  They continued to produce some of Heisey's items until 1984 when they went bankrupt.
