glass corn dish

Hi, can anyone please help me to identify my solo corn dish? And the age?

 

I think it is fairly recent & is used to serve corn on the cob.

Maybe 1970s or later. Unless you find a boxed set, you won't ever know, and they may have been sold stacked in a dime store.

 

What they said. I'm not sure why one would want individual plates for corn on the cob, but at least that set went into the dishwasher.

 

I have a set of plastic ones that I do put in the dishwasher. I like them because they leave room on your plate for other goodies.

 

And keep the butter corralled

 

Well, I got this at the estate sale we stopped at months ago. There was a set of 8 (no box) but I only got this one. It "feels" like Federal glass, or glass that is older-vintage like Anchor Hocking, the color is also that of older glass, and the idea of having a corn plate seems much more ancient than the 1970s. It's heavy for its size. Anything's possible. I almost think this could have been a freebie in some detergent box in the 1950s?

Thank you, Peggy, yes that one was the only other one I could find, but I searched a few months ago. I like them on the side too, but I didn't buy the other 7 because they were marked $18.

That was my second guess, after perhaps it was a freebie!

I wouldn't chance putting this into my dishwasher. It has that slightly "oily"(?) feel of older glass that would cloud from a dishwasher. It's thick glass and heavy.

Could it be as old as the 1950s?

 

YES!! SO GLAD TO HEAR! Thanks, Book.
I felt someone here would have handled them before.
I believe they are likely 1940s or earlier too.

I LOVE the idea of a cob hot-tubbing in this corn dish!
Corn is such a space taker on a dinner plate.

 

Thank you all for responding, please remind me who else is a glassie here? I'm loving it, and now curious to find the manufacturer. It's a substantial size at 10-5/8" long (thank you Peggy for the link with the info so I don't have to get up and measure it.)

I love that it's sectioned, like an ear of corn, so the corn doesn't slip. If only I could have found the other 7 at that estate sale!! Alas!! I did search!!

@TallCakes, would you happen to have seen this lovely cob dish before?

 

I'd vote for the 5 & dime theory, and likely not identifiable unless someone happens upon some original packaging

 

Thank you for taking a look, TallCakes much appreciated.
