Millville Glass 4
| The same process was used in fashioning the flat type of weight which shows a hunter in the field and a pointing dog. One difference in this type is that the outer crystal is always faceted. It seems that all the faceting of weights at Millville was done by a man named Clunn.

| A pink water lily, with white and green encircling leaves and yellow stamen, was apparently made in an Iron mold. This type of weight was evidently not very popular, since specimens have become extremely rare Weights were also made in which this lily is shown with all its stamens yellow, and other specimens show the lily entirely in white, suggesting that the latter was an early experiment.
|
| The pink tulip which is about the same size as the Barber rose, and which has a yellow stamen and petals with fluted edges, is among the rarest of all the Millvilles.
|
There is also a well made deep red rose with very dark green leaves which recently appeared on the market. This rose sometimes shows more petals than the eleven or twelve which appeared in the older style. In the type of which we are speaking, the composition is modern.
