Made by Heisey Victorian came in pale yellow, crystal and cobalt blue. One thing to watch for when collecting Victorian is that Imperial made some items in the mid sixties from the original Heisey molds. Because the original molds were used, the Imperial items will have the Heisey mark. The good news is that the reproduced pieces were made in no original colors. So pink, amber and green are not considered Heisey items even though they are marked.

Vesper by Fostoria had a fairly short production run from 1926 until 1934-35. Vesper is another Fostoria pattern that did not come in crystal. Vesper was produced in blue, green and amber. Like many other elegant glass patterns amber is the most commonly found (next to crystal of course).

Fostoria introduced Versailles in 1928 and production continued up to 1944. Many colors were made including amber, blue, green and pink. Unlike many other Fostoria patterns I am not aware of Versailles being made in crystal. There were colored stems made from 1931-194 that featured crystal bases.

Dancing Nymph or “Dance of the Nudes” is another Consolidated Glass Company pattern that is highly collected in the antique glass market. Made for only five years there is not enough to fill collector demand. This has raised prices for almost any piece in any color. Like other Consolidated patterns like Catalonian and Ruba Rombic Dancing Nymph is getting harder to find.

Catalonian is another Consolidated pattern that is very unusual. Made from the 1920’s until the 1940’s Catalonian was a handmade glass pattern. While not as unusual and longer lived than Ruba Rombic Catalonian features very unique ridges and ripples. As they are hand made each piece will have a pontil mark. Made in a multitude of colors Catalonian commands very high prices on the collector market.

Made in the 1930’s Tiffin’s Cadena elegant glass pattern was made in crystal, pink and amber. Due to the limited availability on the antique glass market it would be a difficult pattern to build form scratch especially in pink. You’re best bet would be to complete a set in different colors.

Fostoria made this little known pattern in the the late 1920’s. It’s a highly decorative, rich pattern consisting of oak leaves or grapes. Brocade came in many colors including blue, pink, green and crystal. The blue seems to be the most popular and expensive color in this pattern. It may take you a while to complete a set due to it’s limited availability.

Available in either crystal ot pink Cambridge Valencia is a somewhat rare pattern. Etched on the same blanks as many of the Rosepoint items Valencia is quality glassware at a slightly more affordable price over many other similar Cambridge patterns including Rosepoint.
