Heisey’s No. 433 & 433-1/2 Greek Key Pattern
By David Warren
There were eleven pieces made
for soda fountains and five pieces
made for hotels. The pattern No.
433 had sixteen nappies; twelve
plates; fourteen footed bowls or
jellies; there were five pieces
included in the punch set; ten sherbets; four orange bowls; nine
pieces inclusive of jugs, tankards
and water bottle; twenty-two
stems; seventeen tumblers, sodas
and barware; thirty-one pieces for
the home. The pattern No. 433-1/2
had eighteen pieces, four which
seem to be the same as No. 433.
Twenty-two pieces were offered in
straight and flared-sided versions.
There are two scalloped nappies
that are the only items that do not
have the interlocking key design.
See Vogel Book II, page 68.
All items of the pattern were produced in crystal. The punch bowl,
base, under plate and custard cup
were also produced in Flamingo.
The first patent was for the two
quart crushed fruit jar by Andrew
J. Sanford, patent No. 40,837 and
dated August 23, 1910. The jar
was marked with the diamond H
and the patent date. The patent
shows the Greek Key design for
the lid and the jar both to be righthanded. The lid was actually made
with the design left-handed and the
jar right-handed.
Grecian Border, as it was called by Heisey, was
produced from 1911 to 1938. Collectors call this
pattern Greek Key. This is one of Heisey's largest
and most collectible patterns with over 170 pieces.
This pattern is heavy and durable. It was intended
for use in hotels, restaurants, bars, soda fountains
and ice cream parlors, as well as the home. The diamond H is usually found on most items, and the bottoms are usually ground and polished.
The Grecian Border pattern by
Heisey was mostly done with the right-handed Greek
Key design although a few pieces had the lefthanded design.
The 1913 catalog No. 75 shows just about every
item in the pattern. The 1928 catalog No. 109 shows
four types of sherbets, the one and two quart crushed
fruit jar, the footed banana split, the hotel ice tub and
cover, and the punch bowl set. The 1937 catalog
shows only the punch bowl, punch cups and the 21"
buffet/under plate.

FEBRUARY MEETING

Message from the Prez
Monday, February 14 - 7:00 P.M.
Potomac Community Library
10101 Glenolden Drive
Potomac, MD
I know many of you dealers are wondering what is
up. I haven’t said one thing about bringing a Winged
Scroll punch cup to the show. Thanks to Scott Heron
for ending our 15 year search. If you come to this
year’s show, please track me down so I can thank
you in person.
PROGRAM
If you missed our January meeting, you missed a
wonderful display and program on the Greek Key
pattern by David Warren. See Vogel Book II, pages
67-82 for examples of the pattern. You will also be
able to print off the program handout from our website. www.capitalheiseyclub.org

The February meeting will be our last one before
the show, so we will be ironing out the final details.
I will be mailing out a letter and floor plan to our
dealers in the next couple of weeks. I had to change
the layout from last year to accommodate some
request, but everyone has as many tables as they
asked for, and the people in the center row will have
a little more room.
Sherry Warren is still looking for people to work at
the show. If you would like to help us out please call
Sherry at (703) 830-6764, or shoot me an email at
prez@capitalheiseyclub.org, and put “Heisey” in the
title or I will probably think it is spam and delete it.
Sadly, George Corbin and Jay Martin have both
decided to retire from doing our show, and we will
miss them. Lucky, Bryan Baker found new dealer’s
to take their spots.
Chris Hartman has been doing a great job getting
the word out, and we hope to see a big increase in our
advertising for the show this year. With the new
advertising, we hope to see an increase in attendance.
The molds for this pattern were reported to have
been destroyed during World War II. Chris
Maskaleris informed us that the mold for the punch
bowl had not been destroyed. While she was helping

Welcome to the club Delores Benner of Allentown,
PA, and Sue Maskaleris of Waldorf, MD. Delores, I
can understand if you can’t make it to any of our
meetings, but I do hope you make plans to come to
the show, we would love to meet you. Sue is the
niece of Chris Maskaleris and helps her out on occasion with the Herald. Sue, I hope you can come with
Chris to one of our meetings so we can all welcome
you to the club in person.
See ya at the next meeting,
John Martinez

to catalog the molds for the museum, the mold for the punch bowl
was found with the rest of the molds bought back from Imperial.
The Grecian Border or Greek Key design was used by Greek
Artists as early as 1000 B.C. There is a winding river in AsiaMinor that was named after the Greek river God "Maiandros."
From the word Maiandros came the Latin version "meander."
The Greek Key motif and the meander motif are synonymous.
500 years before the Greeks, the Chinese had their own versions
of the design. The Greek Key type design has been used by many
cultures throughout history. Many glass companies also used
variations of the pattern.
Many thanks to Petros Z. Mantarakis who researched and put
together the excellent book on this pattern, Grecian Border
(Greek Key). The sale of this book benefits HCA, so please check
it out at the museum, or you can purchase it with the order form
in the Heisey News.
