AWESOME ANTIQUE Millville "HOME SWEET HOME" Log Cabin Frit ArtGlass Paperweight

Description: OUR DESCRIPTION LOVELY ANTIQUE Millville "HOME SWEET HOME" Frit Art Glass Paperweight and Snow White LOG CABIN on a Clear Ground and with a Rainbow Colored Splatter Glass Umbrella Base. (Circa 1900) The dome is not as rounded as normal but still acceptable by me. It does have a few light scratches and a few tiny flea bites but not that bad for it's age. This one is from my personal collection of many many years and is much nicer when seen in person. This one has a slightly concave bottom that shows heavy shelf wear to the basal rim. This is a Splendid Large Size Weight that measures 3" Diameter by 1-7/8" Tall. I consider this a Scarce Piece and to be in Good Original Antique Condition. Please check pictures for further description. The Stand is not part of this sale and is only used here for illustrative purposes. I will Consider any Reasonable Offers on this Wonderful Art Glass Paperweight and Thank You for Looking.

Short History of:Millville Glass Company / American Glass Companies Millville Glass Co. was know as one of the Largest Glass Makers in the Millville, NJ area (Circa 1880) and likewise the entire country. American Glass Companies Millville, New Jersey Southern New Jersey has been called "The Cradle of American Glass" for the same reason that it could be called "The Cradle of American Asparagus Farming." There's a lot of sand in the soil, and sand (silica) is what is melted to make glass. Many of the glass makers migrated to this area from Europe in and around the late 1790’s thru the mid 1800’s. There were so many in this area at the time, New England Glass, Sandwich, Boston, Gillinder, Pairpoint and Millville just to name a few. Glass factories have been here for over 200 years, but it wasn't until the late 1960s that someone decided to call attention to it. That someone was Frank Wheaton Jr., grandson of the founder of Wheaton Industries, one of the biggest companies in glassmaking.
