A Free-Blown End of Day Glass Parade Cane Whimsey - A single free-blown glass whimsey, identified in the market as an End of Day Parade Cane or Staff. This object features a large, hollow, spherical bulbous end connected to a long, straight tubular stem. The item is constructed of clear glass and decorated with internal spiraling cane work utilizing opaque white/opalescent, magenta/pink, and blue/grey hues running along the entire length. The technique is consistent with lampworking or free-blown methods. This item was reportedly found in the basement of an old estate in Elmira, NY, alongside other similar canes. While no manufacturer markings are present, the item is offered with the provenance suggestion of being presumably Steuben, though this attribution is not verified.
