Description: 50 Favorites - 23 One of the most attractive and interesting of the floral patterns is BLEEDING HEART. Ruth Webb Lee claims a Sandwich origin for some pieces-particularly covered dishes with a cable motif at the rim, on the basis of fragments excavated at the Sandwich factory site. Frank W. Chipman claims, without substantiation, that the pattern was made in Sandwich between 1865 and 1875. Mariam Righter associate BLEEDING HEART without much conviction to the Iowa City Glass Company, while Doris and Peter Unitt list the Burlington Glass Company of Canada as one of its possible manufactures. (50 Favorites catalogue) M2 p.74 Made with varying qualities through the 80s.
