Corn Flower Tumblers (2)I don’t know why I keep picking up pieces of Corn Flower….but I do.  I don’t know who made these tumblers, but they join my collection.

001I am always excited to find one of my pieces in a book.  If it’s in a book it must be true!  (saith the old fashioned librarian) Tee hee.

These pieces are very common – see them all over the place!  Crimped edge bud vase.  This was cut by the Hughes Company.  Krista Taylor – Canadian Identification & Price Guide to W.J. Hughes Corn Flower (neat book) – indicates that the blanks were produced by the Louie Glass Company and West Virginia Glass.  Her sources were a 1951 company catalogue and a 1981 catalogue.

In 1951 the vase cost $1.00.  In 1981 the price was $7.50.  I can’t recall what I paid for it!
