FEATURE: Rainbow Iris Glass Beads

What is Iris Glass?
Thanks to www.glassmenagerie.com for the information
Iris  or "Iris and Herringbone" was produced by the Jeannette Glass Company of Jeannette, Pennsylvania.  The Jeannette company existed from 1898 and closed for good in 1983.  The Iris pattern was so named because of the full relief molded leaves and flowers of Iris decorating the main body of every piece and surrounded entirely with a fine Herringbone pattern.  All bases in the original production lines had a "rayed" base pattern as well.
