After his departure from the Boston & Sandwich Glass Company (1858), Deming Jarves soon began another glass company just down the street from the old called the Cape Cod Glass Works. Jarves went into business with his son John. This glass company produced tablewares and lamps, as well as toys, dolphin candlesticks, and other novelty items. Unfortunately, John died a young man, and his father was left to run the Cape Cod Glass Works until his death in 1869.
