A comprehensive catalogue and description of the popular Heisey glassware pattern "Grecian Border" (aka, Greek Key). Elegant glassware is a large sector of the collectibles market. The most sought after manufacturer is Heisey, with glassware dating back to 1896. The most popular of Heisey's patterns is Grecian Border, but to date there had been no publication devoted strictly to this widely collected pattern. Other published references on Heisey Glass do not do justice to what was the broadest and most complex of the Heisey patterns. This book traces the origin of Greek Key, covers the Heisey Grecian Border pattern in detail, and provides grading and pricing information that will be helpful to the beginning collector as well as the seasoned professional.
