Above are three different lily vases. All very similar but so different! All excellent examples of free-blown work.
Left: This pieces was blown by Emil Larson at his backyard furnace probably in the mid 1930's. The color is a golden amber. Larson did not do a lot of work in amber from what I have been told. It stands 5 1/4" tall, 4 1/4" across with a 4" base. Made in two pieces. The base is un-usual, it has a crosshatch (waffle) pattern created by pushing the glass down on a screen.
Middle: This lily vase appears to be very similar but…. The color glass is a bit more of a reddish amber like bottle glass. The tool used to expand and form the top was bigger than the Larson vase. It does have the same type base with the crosshatch (waffle) pattern. Made in two pieces. It stands 7 1/2" tall, is 5 1/4" across the lily and has a 3 7/8" base. It was attributed to Fairton Glass Works located in Fairton NJ, 1892 to 1905, by an antique dealer in south Jersey who would be in his 90's now. I do have to admit though it could pass for a Larson piece.
Right: My favorite lily vase, it is only 4 5/8" tall, about 1 3/4" across and has a 2 1/8" base. The color is golden amber. Made in two pieces. It is attributed to Eagle Glass Works, 1817 to 1862, located at Port Elizabeth NJ. By the same antique dealer as above.

A solid amber free-blown rolling pin.
A Freeblown Rolling Pin. This one is American, ca. 1870 - 1890. It is a deep root beer amber, 16 1/8" long, has a polished pontil and tooled ends. One end is open and was probably used to store salt. This was a custom carried over from England where it was so heavily taxed. about perfect Can be found but you will look hard to find a good one.

Aqua and White Looped Powder Horn
Early South Jersey powder horn about 14" long with an applied ring at the neck and an applied knob at the other end. This is made in deep aqua glass with faint white looping circa 1840-1860. You can see the white looping in the third photo. Small pot stone with 2 surface lines and overall wear. A very nice hard to find horn!
