Lighting brings out the best in a piece of glass. Under lighting (that is a lot of light from the underneath) transparent crystal just zings. I hope these pictures and this last one from the store makes that case. Corrine Oats indicates that the store has a lot more Carder Glass in their vaults. I guess if you don’t see what you like, perhaps just ask and they’ll bring out that special piece. At any rate Corrine says the Vintage Carder merchandise is selling quite well.

Next, follows a brief media advisory as well as select images from the Frederick Carder Vintage collection supplied by Steuben Glass
