Set of Six Heisey Glass Sahara Etched Champagne Stems
Set of 6 Heisey Old Dominion etched glass champagne stems in “Sahara” Heisey part no. 3380 tall stem saucer champagne 6 oz. These are in excellent to great condition. (2) have invisible rim chiggers that have been professionally smoothed (can’t see it, but can feel it if paying close attention). The stems have sharp edges, prone to chiggers, yet we can find only one professionally smoothed chigger remnant. (1) stem has a tiny nick on base, also professionally smoothed (polished out). In great shape, over 60 years old.
The glass is beautiful, quality very light golden yellow. Heisey is known for its excellent elegant vintage glass. Vessels are hand blown, optic paneled, and etched with an Astor type flower pattern. Stems are molded. Base is blown and applied.
All are marked Heisey in center of vessel where it meets the stem. Circa 1930-1937. This stem in Sahara was discontinued in 1937 – Old Dominion stems were produced until 1939. Fabulous set of 6 – Sold as set only.
