Program feature: Orchid Etching
Heisey's most popular etching
During the March program, Mary presented on Heisey’s popular Orchid Etching, which was introduced in 1940. The etching, which features orchid flowers alternating with bows within a framework of vines and small flowers, gained almost immediate popular acclaim and remained in production until the company ceased operation in 1957 – and beyond.
Neila Bredehoft, author of Heisey books and articles, described Orchid Etching as the most popular etching the Heisey Company ever produced. It also became the most extensive pattern Heisey produced, appearing on almost 50 different patterns with over 225 different pieces, according to Walter Ludwig, former curator of the National Heisey Glass Museum.
