Hughes Corn Flower
The Corn Flower cut was developed by W.J. Hughes in 1916. This light cutting on fine quality
glass blanks was the choice of Canadian families for several generations. Although best known for their cuttings on Imperial Glass Company's
"Candlewick" line, Hughes Corn Flower utilized blanks from around twenty different firms, many from North America, but also from Europe.
The distinctive 12-petalled flower with cross-hatched interior and radiating leaves was
in production for nearly three quarters of a century, until 1987.
