Corn Flower, Cornflower, Cut Glass, Sherb, Sundae

Cornflower sherberts (3)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.

Cut Crystal, Cut Glass, Floral Cut

005Another piece of unearthed crystal.  No markings.  I liked the floral cut.  It has great elan!  No idea of anything about it.  Likely to be with yesterday’s stem and be heading off to a thrift shop.  I’d better NOT buy it a second time!

Cut Glass, Liqueurs, Sherry

006Happy Easter to those of you who observe it!

Aren’t these pretty? There was a Good Friday auction in Newtonville.  My son and I checked it out and then my guy went out to bid on thee stems for me.  They were marked THOS WEBB ENGLAND.  I’ve seen Webb Corbett stems listed for decent prices, so I thought – why not (if the price was right).

The price WAS, so they came home on the silver tray.  There are 6 little guys and 6 bigger items – liqueurs and sherries????  The pattern is called Regency.  004I read somewhere that the pattern has a Baluster stem.  They have a nice heft to them.

I show the photo with them all on the tray.  Looks pretty in the sunlight.
