Heisey Glass

Heisey’s Trademark

During the first 4 years of production, Heisey glass did not have the trademark “H within a diamond.”  From 1901 to the mid-1920’S almost every pressed piece of Heisey glass was marked.  From mid-1920 and beyond, the mark was seen less often as it was thought to detract from the piece.  Heisey’s blown glassware is the largest unmarked category due to the method in which it is manufactured.


National Heisey Collectors of America

The National Heisey Collectors of America, Inc. (HCA) was formed on Oct. 15, 1971 to collect and preserve Heisey products. The Licking County affiliate’s most ambitious project was the National Heisey Glass Museum which opened in Newark, Ohio in Sept. 1974.
