Innovative design and technique by pioneering Heaton. In 1947, Heaton invented a process of fusing crystals of enamel to glass surfaces, allowing for rich experimentation for glass-enameled ornament. Through this technique, he became renowned for the opulent colors and textures in his work. His prolific work continued into the 1960s, with increasing applied and internal colors, pre-dating Higgins Glass. less
