2 engraved liquor glasses Cornflower by WJ Hughes, 1960s

2 high stem liquor glasses engraved with flowers, 1960s. Glass measures approximately 4 5/8" (12 cm) high, 2 1/2" (6.3 cm) diameter, 3 oz (100 ml) capacity. Excellent condition, no chips, scratches or cracks. Interesting fact ☝ The Cornflower pattern was designed in 1912 by a young Canadian glass cutter named William John Hughes. The Dufferin-born artisan has grown his glassware into a national brand enjoyed by Canadian families for more than a century. Fine glassware was sold to working class families at an affordable price to add a little elegance and charm to their dinner tables. Both W. J. Hughes and his son-in-law Pete Kaiser were committed to the core principles of quality and affordability, and their innovative marketing in the 1950s and 1960s made Corn Flower a household name.
