The Moon & Star Design (also know as "The Palace") is a Victorian Pattern which was first introduced in the 1800's. The Pattern was very popular, but due to the heaviness of the glass, transporting it by stagecoach was difficult and not practical. It has been read to be Abraham Lincoln's favorite piece and was collected by the late Kate Smith.

 In the 1960's approximately a dozen of the original pieces were reproduced by J.D. and Joseph Weishar. The Moon & Star design was incorporated into approximately 100 new items which were sold nationwide for several years. In 1988, Weishar Enterprises introduced the half scale miniature water sets.
In 1993 we introduced the Moon & Star Collectable Line, (which is full size) they are made from the original moulds, which have been slightly altered to include the Weishar signature. The signature is that of the late Joseph J. Weishar the creator of the Moon & Star glass you have come to love and cherish over the years.
  In 1997 Moon & Star glassware had become the hottest and most sought after collectable of the year. Pieces have been found at garage sales, flea markets and antique stores. If you are lucky enough to find a piece in any of these places, no doubt it will be unaffordable. This is your chance to own a piece of Americana. Just like the Water Set you saw at your grandmas, full of ice cold lemonade and the large covered candy box full of delicious candy.
