Blown Glass End of Day Parade Cane, Aqua Twist - A single (1) blown glass parade cane, commonly referred to in the market as an End of Day whimsey piece. The cane is constructed from thick, hand-worked glass exhibiting a pale aqua or seafoam green tint, consistent with artisan production. The shaft features a continuous helical twist design, tapering toward the bottom end. The top curves sharply to form a traditional hook handle. The object exhibits internal characteristics such as striations, bubbles, and slight cloudiness inherent to the blowing process. This specific cane is part of a collection reportedly found in the basement of an old estate in Elmira, NY. Although no maker's marks are present, the collection context suggests a possible, though unverified, association with Steuben Glass Works or related regional glass houses.
