The Heisey Glass Company, founded in Newark, Ohio in 1896, became renowned for producing high-quality crystal glassware. The Quator pattern (#355) was introduced in the early 20th century and features distinctive geometric Art Deco styling with angular handles and etched floral motifs. This pattern was part of Heisey's elegant glassware line and was often used in hotels and fine dining establishments during the 1910s and 1920s.

Heisey glassware is highly sought after by collectors of American pressed and etched glass, particularly those who appreciate Art Deco design and early 20th-century tableware. The Quator pattern appeals to both Heisey enthusiasts and general vintage glassware collectors for its clean geometric lines, quality craftsmanship, and historical significance as an example of American glass manufacturing during its golden age. Complete sets with matching pieces are especially valued in the collecting community.
