Canadian glassware still cherished 100 years later

From Niagara This Week:

A century after WJ Hughes first began pedalling his glassware, collectors are still crazy for Corn Flower.

The glass pieces etched with the distinct flower design have bidders going into war at auction — which is no bother to organizers of the annual What’s In Your Attic auction in support of McNally House. For the last three years the hospice has benefitted from the appeal of this rare bit of Canadiana and this year will be no different.

Corn Flower Festival returns to the museum

From the Orangeville Banner:

The Dufferin County Museum & Archives’ (DCMA) annual Corn Flower Festival is returning for its 14th year.

The exhibit, held June 3 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., will focus on showing the museum’s “stuff.”

More than 600 pieces of glass will be displayed during the event, including the museum’s coloured blanks collection dating back to 1920.
