"1486 Coleport" is the designation for a specific glass product design made in Newark, Ohio by the Heisey Glass Company (1896 to 1957). Heisey glass designs are called "patterns". Pattern designations include a number (not necessarily consecutively numbered during the history of the glass factory) and a name. Some pattern names were given by the Heisey company, while others were given by Heisey glass researchers.
"Dawn" refers to a type of colored glass that Heisey made - in this case, smoky gray.
The source of silica for Heisey glass is apparently undocumented, but was possibly a sandstone deposit in the Glassrock area (Glenford & Chalfants area) of Perry County, Ohio (if anyone can provide verfication of this, please inform me). Quarries in the area targeted the Pennsylvanian-aged Massillon Sandstone (Pottsville Group) and processed it into glass sand suitable for glass making.
-----------------------------------
From Bredehoft (2004):
Dawn: 1955-1957. A charcoal or smoke colored glass with lavender tints. According to the Olson formulas it was most likely developed fom "Swedish Smoke Glass".

From museum signage:
Augustus H. Heisey (1842-1922) emigrated from Germany with his family in 1843. They settled in Merrittown, Pennsylvania and after graduation from the Merrittown Academy, he worked for a short time in the printing business.
In 1861, he began his life-long career in the glass industry by taking a job as a clerk with the King Glass Company of Pittsburgh. After a stint in the Union Army, Heisey joined the Ripley Glass Company as a salesman. It was there that he earned his reputation of "the best glass salesman on the road".
In 1870, Heisey married Susan Duncan, daughter of George Duncan, then part-owner of the Ripley Company and later full owner, at which time he changed its name to George Duncan & Sons. A year later, he deeded a quarter interest to each of his two children. A few years after his death, A.H. Heisey and James Duncan became sole owners. In 1891, the company joined the U.S. Glass Company to escape its financial difficulties. Heisey was the commercial manager.
Heisey began to formulate plans for his own glass company in 1893. He chose Newark, Ohio because there was an abundance of natural gas nearby and, due to the efforts of the Newark Board of Trade, there was plenty of low cost labor available. Construction of the factory at 301 Oakwood Avenue began in 1895 and it opened in April of 1896 with one sixteen-pot furnace. In its heyday, the factory had three furnaces and employed nearly seven hundred people. There was a great demand for the fine glass and Heisey sold it all over the world.
The production in the early years was confined to pressed ware, in the style of imitation cut glass. The company also dealt extensively with hotel barware. By the late 1890s, Heisey revived the colonial patterns with flutes, scallops, and panels which had been so popular decades earlier. These were so well accepted that from that time on, at least one colonial line was made continuously until the factory closed.
A.H. Heisey's name appears on many different design patents including some when he was with George Duncan & Sons. Heisey patterns that he was named the designer include 1225 Plain Band, 305 Punty and Diamond Point, and 1776 Kalonyal.
Other innovations instituted by A.H. Heisey were the pioneering in advertising glassware in magazines nationally, starting as early as 1910 and the first glass company to make fancy pressed stems. That idea caught on quickly and most hand-wrought stemware is made in this manner, even now.

Some pattern names were given by the Heisey company, while others were given by Heisey glass researchers.
"Marigold" refers to a type of colored glass that Heisey made - in this case, yellowish. One of the ingredients in Heisey's Marigold glass was "sodium uranite", a radioactive sodium-uranium oxide compound.
The source of silica for Heisey glass is apparently undocumented, but was possibly a sandstone deposit in the Glassrock area (Glenford & Chalfants area) of Perry County, Ohio (if anyone can provide verfication of this, please inform me). Quarries in the area targeted the Pennsylvanian-aged Massillon Sandstone (Pottsville Group) and processed it into glass sand suitable for glass making.
-----------------------------------
From Bredehoft (2004):
Marigold: 1927-1928. A brassy, greenish yellow color, very like the marigold flower. A rather unstable glass that sometimes deteriorates. Because of production problems, it was eventually replaced by Sahara.

From museum signage:
Marigold
1929-1930
Crazing and breakage is common in pieces of Marigold because of deterioration due to an unstable glass compound.

From Bredehoft (2004):
Tangerine: 1932-1935. An orange glass. The glass was struck (reheated) to produce deepening color. Because of this, tangerine can look orange and sometimes almost red. Pressed pieces can exhibit an amberina-type coloration. While oral history indicates this was developed by Olson himself, his records indicate he did get some help!

dSatellite is a site-specific architectural structure that extends the mission of DFLUX (www.dflux.org), a Detroit-based research studio and residency program, further into its community. DFLUX engages its local neighborhood and the general public with creative actions, research, and workshops. In so doing, they hope to reveal and create emergent and sustainable cottage industries. dSatellite was created with the intention of providing future DFLUX participants and local residents with an outpost to engage in various field research. Constructed with foraged building materials, dSatellite merges both the physical and conceptual characteristics of the DFLUX Residency site and a typical nature blind used by naturalists, scientists, photographers and hunters. dSatellite is currently deployed in a completely razed residential neighborhood of Detroit currently referred to as the "field" by local residents and "Renaissance Zone" by real estate developers. A dense urban forest, rich with wildlife, has grown there, only crumbling roads and alleys, debris piles, and public utilities remain as signs of past use.
dSatellite was created during a research residency at DFLUX in Detroit, MI in collaboration with Joseph G. Cruz (http://josephgcruz.com)

dSatellite is a site-specific architectural structure that extends the mission of DFLUX (www.dflux.org), a Detroit-based research studio and residency program, further into its community. DFLUX engages its local neighborhood and the general public with creative actions, research, and workshops. In so doing, they hope to reveal and create emergent and sustainable cottage industries. dSatellite was created with the intention of providing future DFLUX participants and local residents with an outpost to engage in various field research. Constructed with foraged building materials, dSatellite merges both the physical and conceptual characteristics of the DFLUX Residency site and a typical nature blind used by naturalists, scientists, photographers and hunters. dSatellite is currently deployed in a completely razed residential neighborhood of Detroit currently referred to as the "field" by local residents and "Renaissance Zone" by real estate developers. A dense urban forest, rich with wildlife, has grown there, only crumbling roads and alleys, debris piles, and public utilities remain as signs of past use.

This specific journal was never up for sale on Etsy. It was made as a gift for one of my baby sisters. However, I do plan to make a duplicate of it to sell in the very near future. This one was 8.5"x5.5" and contained 100 sheets of lined 65lb acid and lignin free card stock. It was a very hefty journal that was comfortable to hold, and as it was coptic bound, laid flat to make writing easier.

(HGM 5737 M, Heisey Glass Museum, Newark, Ohio, USA)
-----------------------------------
"1229 Octagon" is the designation for a specific glass product design made in Newark, Ohio by the Heisey Glass Company (1896 to 1957). Heisey glass designs are called "patterns". Pattern designations include a number (not necessarily consecutively numbered during the history of the glass factory) and a name. Some pattern names were given by the Heisey company, while others were given by Heisey glass researchers.
"Marigold" refers to a type of colored glass that Heisey made - in this case, yellowish. One of the ingredients in Heisey's Marigold glass was "sodium uranite", a radioactive sodium-uranium oxide compound.
The source of silica for Heisey glass is apparently undocumented, but was possibly a sandstone deposit in the Glassrock area (Glenford & Chalfants area) of Perry County, Ohio (if anyone can provide verfication of this, please inform me). Quarries in the area targeted the Pennsylvanian-aged Massillon Sandstone (Pottsville Group) and processed it into glass sand suitable for glass making.
-----------------------------------
From Bredehoft (2004):
Marigold: 1927-1928. A brassy, greenish yellow color, very like the marigold flower. A rather unstable glass that sometimes deteriorates. Because of production problems, it was eventually replaced by Sahara.
-----------------------------------
From museum signage:
Marigold
1929-1930
Crazing and breakage is common in pieces of Marigold because of deterioration due to an unstable glass compound.
-----------------------------------
From museum signage:
Augustus H. Heisey (1842-1922) emigrated from Germany with his family in 1843. They settled in Merrittown, Pennsylvania and after graduation from the Merrittown Academy, he worked for a short time in the printing business.
In 1861, he began his life-long career in the glass industry by taking a job as a clerk with the King Glass Company of Pittsburgh. After a stint in the Union Army, Heisey joined the Ripley Glass Company as a salesman. It was there that he earned his reputation of "the best glass salesman on the road".
In 1870, Heisey married Susan Duncan, daughter of George Duncan, then part-owner of the Ripley Company and later full owner, at which time he changed its name to George Duncan & Sons. A year later, he deeded a quarter interest to each of his two children. A few years after his death, A.H. Heisey and James Duncan became sole owners. In 1891, the company joined the U.S. Glass Company to escape its financial difficulties. Heisey was the commercial manager.
Heisey began to formulate plans for his own glass company in 1893. He chose Newark, Ohio because there was an abundance of natural gas nearby and, due to the efforts of the Newark Board of Trade, there was plenty of low cost labor available. Construction of the factory at 301 Oakwood Avenue began in 1895 and it opened in April of 1896 with one sixteen-pot furnace. In its heyday, the factory had three furnaces and employed nearly seven hundred people. There was a great demand for the fine glass and Heisey sold it all over the world.
The production in the early years was confined to pressed ware, in the style of imitation cut glass. The company also dealt extensively with hotel barware. By the late 1890s, Heisey revived the colonial patterns with flutes, scallops, and panels which had been so popular decades earlier. These were so well accepted that from that time on, at least one colonial line was made continuously until the factory closed.
A.H. Heisey's name appears on many different design patents including some when he was with George Duncan & Sons. Heisey patterns that he was named the designer include 1225 Plain Band, 305 Punty and Diamond Point, and 1776 Kalonyal.
Other innovations instituted by A.H. Heisey were the pioneering in advertising glassware in magazines nationally, starting as early as 1910 and the first glass company to make fancy pressed stems. That idea caught on quickly and most hand-wrought stemware is made in this manner, even now.

Il Lapis Niger, scoperto da Giacomo Boni nel XIX secolo, è una delle poche parti sopravvissute nell’area del Comizio, luogo che precedeva il Foro, sede di di assemblee e di un culto religioso probabilmente risalente al VIII secolo a.C.. Sotto quest’area venne rinvenuto un altare con il celebre cippo inciso da una delle iscrizioni latine più antiche mai conservate.

Con la direzione della Soprintendenza, e affiancati da un team multidisciplinare, Visivalab ha preso parte al progetto di ricerca scientifica trasversale dell’area. Gli obiettivi hanno riguardato lo studio della documentazione storica precedente, l’acquisizione digitale dell’area del Comizio, del Lapis Niger e dell’iscrizione stessa, con la finalità di preservare i reperti in tutte le loro fasi. E’ stato inoltre sviluppato un software online in grado di elaborare le informazioni, convertitosi poi in nuovo strumento di interpretazione degli scavi e del contesto del Foro Romano.

Progetto - La metodologia applicata nel progetto ha coinvolto diversi approcci e fasi. Si è iniziato con un minuzioso studio della documentazione storica relativa al Lapis Niger e al Comitium. Successivamente, è stata effettuata la digitalizzazione dell’area e dei reperti utilizzando tecnologie di acquisizione digitale all’avanguardia.

I dati raccolti sono stati analizzati attentamente e confrontati con l’archivio storico. Allo stesso tempo, è stata progettata una piattaforma che consente la segmentazione e l’organizzazione dei dati grezzi in infinite possibilità, fornendo così una vasta base di dati per il lavoro attuale e per future ricerche.

Questa documentazione doveva però essere esaminata e reinterpretata per fornire contesto storico e topografico ai reperti. Questo studio era essenziale per garantire una sicura acquisizione digitale e consentire un confronto tra i rilevamenti digitali e i dati storici. Inoltre, ha permesso di texturizzare i modelli tridimensionali estratti.

(HGM 2293 M, Heisey Glass Museum, Newark, Ohio, USA)
-----------------------------------
"3389 Duquesne" is the designation for a specific glass product design made in Newark, Ohio by the Heisey Glass Company (1896 to 1957). Heisey glass designs are called "patterns". Pattern designations include a number (not necessarily consecutively numbered during the history of the glass factory) and a name. Some pattern names were given by the Heisey company, while others were given by Heisey glass researchers.
"Tangerine" refers to a type of colored glass that Heisey made - in this case, orangish to orangish-red.
The source of silica for Heisey glass is apparently undocumented, but was possibly a sandstone deposit in the Glassrock area (Glenford & Chalfants area) of Perry County, Ohio (if anyone can provide verfication of this, please inform me). Quarries in the area targeted the Pennsylvanian-aged Massillon Sandstone (Pottsville Group) and processed it into glass sand suitable for glass making.
-----------------------------------
From Bredehoft (2004):
Tangerine: 1932-1935. An orange glass. The glass was struck (reheated) to produce deepening color. Because of this, tangerine can look orange and sometimes almost red. Pressed pieces can exhibit an amberina-type coloration. While oral history indicates this was developed by Olson himself, his records indicate he did get some help!
-----------------------------------
From museum signage:
Augustus H. Heisey (1842-1922) emigrated from Germany with his family in 1843. They settled in Merrittown, Pennsylvania and after graduation from the Merrittown Academy, he worked for a short time in the printing business.
In 1861, he began his life-long career in the glass industry by taking a job as a clerk with the King Glass Company of Pittsburgh. After a stint in the Union Army, Heisey joined the Ripley Glass Company as a salesman. It was there that he earned his reputation of "the best glass salesman on the road".
In 1870, Heisey married Susan Duncan, daughter of George Duncan, then part-owner of the Ripley Company and later full owner, at which time he changed its name to George Duncan & Sons. A year later, he deeded a quarter interest to each of his two children. A few years after his death, A.H. Heisey and James Duncan became sole owners. In 1891, the company joined the U.S. Glass Company to escape its financial difficulties. Heisey was the commercial manager.
Heisey began to formulate plans for his own glass company in 1893. He chose Newark, Ohio because there was an abundance of natural gas nearby and, due to the efforts of the Newark Board of Trade, there was plenty of low cost labor available. Construction of the factory at 301 Oakwood Avenue began in 1895 and it opened in April of 1896 with one sixteen-pot furnace. In its heyday, the factory had three furnaces and employed nearly seven hundred people. There was a great demand for the fine glass and Heisey sold it all over the world.
The production in the early years was confined to pressed ware, in the style of imitation cut glass. The company also dealt extensively with hotel barware. By the late 1890s, Heisey revived the colonial patterns with flutes, scallops, and panels which had been so popular decades earlier. These were so well accepted that from that time on, at least one colonial line was made continuously until the factory closed.
A.H. Heisey's name appears on many different design patents including some when he was with George Duncan & Sons. Heisey patterns that he was named the designer include 1225 Plain Band, 305 Punty and Diamond Point, and 1776 Kalonyal.
Other innovations instituted by A.H. Heisey were the pioneering in advertising glassware in magazines nationally, starting as early as 1910 and the first glass company to make fancy pressed stems. That idea caught on quickly and most hand-wrought stemware is made in this manner, even now.
