This is a very attractive glass with it’s fancy twisted stem, the shape of the bowl and of course the cutting.

The Corn Flower cutting appears to be that of Hughes as opposed to one of his imitators.  But of course I am always open to being corrected!

I am guessing that the stem is European – imported from Czechoslovakia or Hungary perhaps.

Over the years I have amassed a little collection of Pie Crust pieces.  I guess I have not thought to post the photos.

This one is decorated with Hughes’ Corn flower cutting.  I have two of them!  Not deliberately, but this is evidence of having too many pieces of glass that you forget what you have!

I don’t know what it is about these pieces that I find so appealing.  Could be the peg legs, or the deceptively attractive banding.  The designs are simple, yet quite appealing.

This silver overlay on this piece is in perfect condition.  I haven’t been able to identify it, but it obviously has a daffodil theme going on.

This three part bowl/dish has a very dainty etch/engraving (I never know what to call these designs, best do some research).  It has a real pretty look to it.Imperial Pie Crust relish dish (2)

Updated post – December 4, 2012

I was scrolling through the Gallery of the Elegant and Everyday Glass Forum looking to ID an etch I am going to post soon when I came across a very similar bowl (different etch).  I was so pleased to see that my bowl is older than I thought – mid 1920s-1945.  Very exciting to be able to identify a piece.  I actually never thought I would.

Original post – November 23, 2012:

I bought this little bowl sometime ago.  It was 75 cents.  I have to admit that I have it displayed in a dark corner of the basement.  I’ve ignored it, in fact I hadn’t washed it in ages and was surprised when I did – I thought it had a yellowish tinge.  Turns out it was dust!

When I REALLY looked at this piece I saw that it actually has some intriguing features.  The feet and the banding (for the lack of a better word) make it very interesting.

The etch is pretty, although not spectacular, but the shape is very interesting.  No idea which company made it.

I guess I should move it out of the basement.

I thought this little piece was so cute.  It is Imperial’s line no. 780 – Laced Edge.  I believe that the production period for this piece would have been between 1935 and 1950.

The cutting is the Corn Flower decoration by the W.J. Hughes Corn Flower Company of Ontario, Canada. The cutting appears on both sides of the piece.
