In June our club started a series of educational programs at our monthly meetings. The first one was titled “Life on the Water.” Our July program continued along this line with “Birds of a Feather.” As you can see in the photos of our July meeting we had a large table full of different items made by Heisey. We saw glass animals, penguin decanter, and rooster head cocktail shaker top, stemware, duck cologne bottle, candlesticks, floral bowls and more. We also had a number of carvings and etchings with bird motifs as well as several beautiful Krall cut pieces of stemware. Pictured below are the large #4 Swan and #5 Cygnet. Also shown are the #20 Wood Duck mother, #21 Duckling floating and the #22 Duckling standing. The large swan was featured with Jane Wyman in an ad for the movie “The Glass Menagerie”. Thanks to Bill, Rich, Lynn and all who brought items to make this a great program. Check out “SPOTLIGHT” for other bird related items. Coming next month we will continue with this series with a program title “Heisey Four-Footed Friends”.
