This piece was signed so it wasn’t difficult to identify the maker, and I knew the cutting of course. But I have had no luck identifying the line number for the shape.
I have two Corn Flower/Cornflower references and neither show this shape. No one at the Elegant and Everyday Glass Forum responded to my query either. Must not be a common line.
I guess it doesn’t really matter, but inquiring minds like to know these things!

These two photos illustrate Heisey’s Old Dominion blank/shape – #3390.
The first stem is in Heisey’s yellow shade called Sahara. It has been etched with the Old Colony pattern – #448.
The bowls of both have a diamond optic., as seen more closely below.
The second stem has no etch on its clear bowl. The stem is shaded in Heisey’s green called Moongleam.
These are very pretty glasses, produced in the 1930s.
Even though they are the same shape and size, the colour and etching make them look very different.

I have to correct an earlier posting. When I posted these glasses in January I referred to them as Boopies. I was recently
reading about Berwick, or Boopies, when I realized that the foot was not in fact a Boopie foot. These glasses are Bubble Feet, official name – Early American. Still pretty, and still by Anchor Hocking.
This explains my earlier confusion about the rounded shape. The Boopie is more angular and I couldn’t figure out the more rounded shape. You’d think I would have been more curious and investigated further! But no. According to replacements.com this is the liquor cocktail. Always good to learn something new!!
