The color of Helio has been described as part of the purple family and has been compared to the color lavender. It also falls into the category of opaque glass, but the color changes depend on the light source. The variation of purple differs between pieces, but the color is consistent within the piece itself. It is believed that Helio was only produced for a short time because it is not mentioned in trade journals after 1924. Design The majority of the pieces produced were of simple design, free of any decoration for the most part, although there are some with a gold leaf pattern or a black-dragon design.

Cambridge Glass
Cambridge Glass was a manufacturer of glassware formed in 1873 in Cambridge, Ohio. The company produced a range of coloured glassware in the 1920s, initially with opaque shades, but moving on to transparent shades by the end of the decade. Unable to compete with mass-produced glassware, the company closed briefly in 1954, but was reopened in 1955. However, financial difficulties persisted, and, after several ownership changes, the factory closed for good in 1958. Imperial Glass Company purchased the Cambridge Glass molds two years later, and would use them for another three decades until that company went bankrupt in 1984.

Frosted Glass
Frosted glass is produced by the sandblasting or acid etching of clear sheet glass. This creates a pitted surface on one side of the glass pane and has the effect of rendering the glass translucent by scattering the light which passes through, thus blurring images while still transmitting light. It has 10-20% Opacity. Applications: * To achieve visual privacy while still allowing light to pass through. * Decorative patterns may be created on plain glass by using wax or other inhibitors to retain transparent areas. * To distribute light uniformly in a photographic contact printer. * To create an airtight seal in tubes. The frosted glass effect can also be achieved by the application of vinyl film, used as a sort of stencil on the glass surface. "Photo-resist", or photo-resistant film is also available, which can be produced to mask off the area surrounding a decorative design, or logo on the glass surface. A similar effect may also be accomplished with the use of canned fro ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
