p. 30 – Mandarin Yellow – Steuben

Frederick Carder’s Mandarin Yellow was made about 1915-1916. This translucent and brilliant yellow color was inspired by the yellow Chinese porcelains of the Ming dynasty (14th to 17th centuries). Internal stresses in this apparently weak structured glass caused it to crack; around a dozen examples are known to exist today, mostly in the form of vases.

Alan, Stephen M. Pescatore pitcher Looks like Bohemian Tango glass to me. But not Loetz, maybe Powolny.

I think it is entirely possible that Mandarin Yellow was equally inspired by early Chinese yellow Peking glass. The colors are very close, though of course Peking glass is quite thick and usually cut.

Antique Green

from Dave Kingsley and Duane Moulton of Loxahatchee, FL

Hi Alan,

We agree with what Rande Bly has shown. Having the candlestick here to compare with the submitted photos, the color as presented on our computer screen is identical to the item itself. So you can be relatively certain that what you see on your screens is very close to how it appears here. I (Dave) take great care with my photography to ensure true color representation. This candlestick does throw a lot of gray. When first trying to identify the color I saw a piece in Antique Green (maybe the same sherbet Rande included) but didn’t believe a green would have so much blue as our candlestick. That is why we wrote. We now agree that this is an Antique Green. Marina, Celeste Blue, and Flemish Blue all seem to be too bright shades of blue. We have enjoyed the discussion and the contributions from David Chadwick-Brown, Debby Schultz, and Rande Bly.
