3 hand-blown South Jersey glass pieces Emil Larson Offered are three pieces attributed to famed New Jersey glassblower Emil Larson (1879-1970), often referred to as the "glassblower's glassblower!" From his early work at Dorflinger, to being the master glassblower at the Durand Glass Works fancy art glass shop in Vineland, NJ (1924-31), to his years making glass in his backyard shop, Larson was renowned for his ability to make just about anything out of glass. Larson's "Millville Rose" paperweights rival many made by fellow South Jersey glass worker Ralph Barber. These pieces date between 1931 and 1946, when Larson was making glass at one of two furnaces in his backyard in Vineland , NJ . (Larson also worked at Clevenger Brothers for a short period during these years.) They were made in amethyst glass, and resemble the style Larson used on many of his "Steigel-type" flasks. I attribute the pieces offered to Larson through a connection to a flask made by him in my own South Jersey glass collection. These three pieces were part of a larger group I purchased a while back, all pieces made in the same style with some variations, such as different rib counts on the pattern molds. Among the tall glasses in the group was one made using an unusual broken rib pattern mold, one virtually identical to my broken rib pattern Emil Larson flask. (That piece remains in my collection. See photo of the flask with three pieces similar to those offered Please note - the pieces in the photo are NOT the pieces offered for sale They are other pieces from the set.) The tall tumbler stands 5 3/16 inches tall and was made using a 14-rib pattern mold. The juice glass stands 3 3/8 inches tall and was made using a 10-rib pattern mold. (A similar piece in cobalt blue is in the Larson family collection.) The smallest piece, a footed dessert or salt measures 2¼ inches tall, made in a 12-rib pattern mold. This dessert bears an uncanny resemblance to a swirl pattern dessert pictured on Page 229 of Adeline Pepper's Glass Gaffers of New Jersey book, attributed to the 19 th century Schetterville glass factory in South Millville , NJ , later to become the Whitall-Tatum Glass Company.All three pieces are in excellent condition. The tumbler and dessert were made using a glass batch with lots of tiny bubbles throughout, while the glass used to make the juice glass is free of bubbles. Both extremes are commonly found in glass made by Larson. All pieces have pontil marks on the base.Payment via check or money order. Postage and insurance paid by buyer.
