“Freedom has its life in the hearts, the actions, the spirit of men and so it must be daily earned and refreshed – else like a flower cut from its life-giving roots, it will wither and die.”
Dwight D. Eisenhower

For the Fourth of July holiday I have attached a picture of some red, white and blue glass attributed to the Boston and Sandwich Glass Factory. The small kerosene lamp to the left has a font with swirled latticinio red, white and blue canes. The glass bell has individual red, white and blue swirled canes in the handle. Next to the bell is a small free blown scent bottle in milk glass with blue and red pulled loop marbrie decoration. The large lamp is a solar lamp with a red, white and blue marbrie decorated base with a cobalt bead of glass around the bottom edge. It has a patriotic shield cut on the shade, circa 1850-60. Last is a blown wide mouth bottle in milk glass with red and blue marbrie decoration. This bottle was probably used as a tea caddy. It came from the family of Benjamin Haines, a prominent member of the Sandwich glassworks. Happy Fourth! – Rob Girouard
