Transition

Webmaster, Marshall Ketchum reports on improvements on the Carder Steuben Club website, www.cardersteubenclub.org
to begin to embrace the post-Carder period.

During the Business Meeting at the Symposium in Corning this year the membership voted to modify the Club’s By-laws to include Steuben glass made after the 1932-1933 Carder era in the Club’s mission. To that end I have end I have modified the existing website in a couple of areas to begin to help the post-Carder glass collector.

I have compared the drawings in the Madigan book with those in Gardner to arrive at a preliminary list of those Carder designs that continued production after the transition to the post-Carder era. I have added text to the drawings of those shapes so that a keyword search of “post-carder” (without the quotes) will produce a search result of only those shapes.

In addition I have added a new section to the menu named Post Carder Era that attempts to add some brief history of this time period and also includes a printed list of the Carder designs that were made after the post Carder transition.

A third minor change to the Menu is that most of the Menu is now alphabetized after the Symposium section. This may make it easier to find Menu items.
