Both pressed and blown glassware were made in a wide variety of patterns and colors by different makers. We believe our dish is made by Imperial, or possibly Heisey.
Imperial Glass Company bought the molds from the Heisey glass company when they went out of business in the 50’s. production and continued producing some pieces with the Imperial Glass mark until they went out of business in 1984. Many of these pieces were animal figurines, mostly in new or original colors using the old molds.
It is thought that manufacturers created slag glass by taking slag, the waste content of metal ores, from iron-smelting works and adding it to molten glass. The process created a variety of effects, such as tortoiseshell and marbling.
Slag glass is often found in purple and sometimes in blue, brown and green, with streaks and swirls of white or cream.
