Alan,

I’d like to say that if I had to choose, I would vote to have the club change its name. I think it’s progress, although I understand the thought process behind not wanting the clubs name to change. If the argument is that it will bring more exposure and more formality to the Club’s reputation in the future, then I feel it’s a positive. For many years, I really didn’t embrace change, but now as I see things as I get older, I embrace the change, after all, it’s all in the name of beautiful glass which I feel will always have an appreciation by future generations! Also, I would be curious to know from folks that recall, what the mood was like when the name of the Friends of Carder transitioned into the Carder Steuben Club? Just one person’s opinion.

Fire and Vine Exhibit

One of the exhibitions currently on display at the Corning Museum of Glass is “Fire and Vine: The Story of Glass and Wine,” curated by Katherine Larson, Curator of Ancient Glass at CMoG. Ms. Larson’s explanation of the exhibit can be found in the CMoG Blog:

Ms. Larson specifically chose four pieces of Carder glass to include in the exhibit. The first is shown in the 5 piece group photograph in the Blog article. It is a shape 3325 goblet. Another photograph of this goblet and the CMoG description in the collection database can be found here:

Other examples of shape 3325 can be found in the Shape Gallery on the club website here:

The CMoG example of shape 3325 is special because it is engraved (the pattern is unknown to me). None of the examples in the Shape Gallery are engraved.

Ms. Larson provided a photograph from one of the case installations in the exhibit showing the prominent display location of this 3325 goblet:

Also included in this same case is a Gold Aurene goblet. It can be seen in the lower right corner of the photograph. The CMoG description of the aurene goblet and another photograph can be found here:

An even better photograph of this goblet showing the decoration detail was also provided by Ms. Larson

Finally, a pair of Carder colorless red and white wine glasses were also included in the exhibit. Ms. Larson again provided a photograph of a case installation showing this pair of stems:

Although there are no photographs of these goblets in the CMoG database, the description of each of them can be found here:

The Fire and Vine exhibition will be on display for the next 17 months until December 31, 2022.
