One of the programs for this year’s Symposium will be presented by Ruth deLorraine of Campbell, New York. I’ve been told for many year’s now that Ruth has a wonderful Carder collection. For her Saturday Collector’s Choice program, Ruth has chosen to focus on her extensive early Gold Aurene collection. Many are familiar with the later well developed and brilliant Aurene’s. However, in the early year’s of development the Aurene’s had a soft tone to them. Many collectors favor either the soft early versions or the later highly iridescent Aurene’s. For those unfamiliar with the early Aurene’s, Beth Shaut of the Carder Steuben Glass Shop has sent along a picture of one of her display cases devoted to the early Aurene’s. I suspect this little warm up, is nothing more than a small introduction to Ruth’s presentation.
