context_page_description: Helio (Cambridge Glass) is a type of glassware produced by Cambridge Glass, beginning in 1923. The color of Helio has been described as part of the purple family and has been compared to the color lavender. It also falls into the category of opaque glass, but the color changes depend on the light source. The variation of purple differs between pieces, but the color is consistent within the piece itself.
  It is believed that Helio was only produced for a short time because it is not mentioned in trade journals after 1924.
context_section_description: The majority of the pieces produced were of simple design, free of any decoration for the most part,  although there are some with a gold leaf pattern or a black-dragon design.  This is true for any of the opaque colors made in the 1920s.
