A.h. heisey & company<br />
A. H. <strong>Heisey</strong> & <strong>Company</strong> was founded by A.H. <strong>Heisey</strong> in Newark, Ohio in<br />
1895/1896. In 1900, the Diamond H trademark (registered trademark<br />
#50121) was designed <strong>and</strong> much of the glass was marked, making it easy<br />
to identify today. <strong>Heisey</strong> was a family business, operated by <strong>Heisey</strong><br />
family members. During WWII, <strong>Heisey</strong> glass making slowed down <strong>and</strong>, in<br />
the end, foreign imports caused too much competition for them, <strong>and</strong><br />
they closed permanently in December 1957.<br />
<strong>Heisey</strong> only produced one animal covered dish, a Lion Trinket Dish.<br />
Imperial purchased the Lion dish mold in 1958.<br />
<strong>Heisey</strong> produced butter dish with horse finial, Duck <strong>and</strong> Bird Floral<br />
Blocks <strong>and</strong> many figural animals. Imperial Glass of Bellaire, Ohio<br />
acquired fifty-six animal figure molds in 1958. To tell the difference<br />
in the figural animals: <strong>Heisey</strong> glass will react under black lighting<br />
<strong>and</strong> Imperial will not.<br />
Beware of Asian made animal covered dishes bearing Diamond H<br />
logos on their bases. These are not <strong>Heisey</strong> pieces! They are imported<br />
Asian pieces by AA Importing <strong>Company</strong>. The imposter's diamonds<br />
are much wider, <strong>and</strong> the H is wrong as well.
