HELIOS - Part 3


Pg. 104-Imperial Book by Archers.	ACANTHUS 7.5 in. Bowl

ACANTHUS: This pattern appeared in the Spring 1911 wholesale catalogs. The 10” plates are only found in clambroth, marigold and smoke. 8”-9” bowls are found in clambroth, cobalt blue, emerald, marigold, purple, smoke and rare aqua. The helios examples are very difficult to find.


DIAMOND LACE in Helios.	DIAMOND RING - 9 in. Bowl.

DIAMOND LACE: Water pitchers, tumblers, 8”-9” berry bowls, 5” berry bowls and a rose bowl are found in either marigold and purple, or, in the case of the pitcher, only in purple. OLD rose bowls are known only in marigold, but during the 1960s and 70s, Imperial reproduced the rose bowl in red and green, marked with IG. Vintage helios examples of the larger berry bowl are quite scarce.

DIAMOND RING: Shapes in this pattern are limited to 8”-9” and 5”-6” berry bowls, along with a rose bowl. Colors known are marigold, purple and smoke. Only the two sizes in berry bowls are found in helios. Only a few in that color are known. Rose bowls are shaped from the 8”-9” berry bowl mold.


FASHION Breakfast Set in Helios - VERY scarce color.	FASHION Rose Bowl in Helios.

FASHION: While punch sets, water sets, a breakfast set, 9” ruffled and ice cream shape bowls, rose bowl and a large compote are found in this pattern, only the breakfast set and the rose bowl are to be found in helios. While not as popular with collectors as purple and smoke, they should be considered more rare. The compote is only known in smoke. All other shapes are fairly available in marigold, with purple and smoke being somewhat more elusive.

10 in. Berry in HEAVY GRAPE.	11.50 in. HEAVY GRAPE Chop Plate with the silvery finish known as Helios Green.

SCROLL EMBOSSED Compote, 4.25 in. tall.	SCROLL EMBOSSED Goblet Shaped Compote - Helios.

SCROLL EMBOSSED: Bowls having File exterior are found only in marigold, purple and smoke. 9” bowls with plain exterior, and the 8”-9” bowls with Hobstar and Tassel exterior, 9” plates, compote with Curved Star exterior, compote with plain exterior are all found in helios, along with the usual marigold purple, smoke, clambroth, teal, amber, olive, and in some cases aqua.

The goblet shape is known only in helios, is very rare and this one was included in the late Eleanor Hamilton collection for many years. It was shaped from the small compote having the plain exterior.
