Though A.H. Heisey founded his glass company in 1896 in Newark, Ohio, he'd already been in the glass business since the end of the Civil War. Known for creating molded colorless 'elegant' glassware so precise it looked like cut glass, the company also produced commercial glass for hotels and bars. Bucking the contemporary trends, Heisey tried reviving the Colonial style, which became very popular through magazine advertising.
Heisey glass is easily identifiable, as most pieces made after 1900 were marked with a diamond with an 'H' inside. The company successfully experimented with high end colored art glass (branded 'Verlys') and glassware in the 1940s, and mostly sold figurines after WW2.
