What A Shelf Display

Mar 28, 2016
Issue 2433

From David Chadwick-Brown’s Reception

On the upper shelf, top right, ivory chess piece

Middle shelf, left to right, one of a pair of oval elevator lights, impressed on the flange “Corning Ivrene Made in U.S.A.” Red cintra (#3208) with green rim; French blue fan vase with silver overlay on rim and foot; Tyrian bowl, cluster of three green jades (one iridized) showing three different hues; covered compote in window glass green with its usual complement of Celeste Blue

Bottom shelf, left to right, the early green, called simply ‘green,’ that was in blanks sent to Hawkes, but apparently never a color marketed by Steuben. Topaz compote with green/turquoise canes; partial view of top of a Rouge FlambĂ© posy vase which Frank Blake once told me he recalled seeing on Mr. Carder’s desk at home; blue cornucopia vase on square foot, though most are done in clear
