CornFlower Glass was Created by W.J. Huges in Canada.  The Pattern is distinctive with its 12 petalled flower, grid-like interior and elegant sweeping stems.


1.  "Spotting" - marking out the positioning of the flowers with dash-like cuts

2.  "Six-siding" and "stemming" - the interior grid-like design of authentic Corn Flower forms hexagonal patterns; graceful arching stems also were cut in this stage

3.  "Leafing" - distinctive leaves formed with a pair of elongated semi-circles that end in a point

4.  "Petalling" - a series of shallow cuts usually forming twelve petals, however this number did vary when space was restricted on smaller surfaces. On items with very little room a Corn Flower bud design was used

5.  "Fringing" or "nicking" - the tips of the petals were decorated with a series of small cut lines

I would Suggest Checking the Internet for Other information in terms of Colour and Styles. Some Colours I have located are AMBER, YELLOW,  COLBALT BLUE, LIGHT BLUE, GREEN, PINK, CRYSTAL, RUBY, FLAMINGO, MILK.

Hope this will help Those who would Like to Collect This Lovely Canadian Glass.
