Because Hughes was a Canadian company you see alot of Cornflower in our area. When I was a young teen I actually started collecting pieces that you could buy from a local jeweler in my small hometown. They have long disappeared.
I have picked up various pieces of Cornflower over the years in no organized manner. Last month when I was at the Corning Museum I bought the book Elegant glass with Corn Flower: Imperial Candlewick, Heisey, Tiffin & more by Walter T. Lemiski.
I’ve been trying to identify the blanks of the pieces that I have. I haven’t had a great deal of luck as my pieces are primarily stemware and pretty non-descript.
But, the author has included sections on different coloured Cornflower. My, my they are gorgeous! These pieces are not commonly seen, but I will be on the lookout. I have pink Tiffin stemware, but that’s it for coloured pieces.
i recommend this book as a great reference.
