This Year’s Presentation

This piece was previewed to those attending the Symposium last year as part of Eric Hilton’s presentation. Another past Steuben designer, Peter Yenawine, will present this year plus those attending the Symposium will have the opportunity to see a demonstration by Harry Allen, creator of the Steuben Piggy Bank.

Ocean’s Pulse by Steuben

designed by Eric Hilton

Limited Edition of 5. Signed and numbered.

Four distinctly separate blocks of pure crystal interconnected by the sometimes magical, reflective quality of glass provide abstract patterns of both clear and opaque surfaces stretching far beyond the boundaries of the material. Designed by Eric Hilton in 2015, the glistening, varied textures of Ocean’s Pulse are achieved through countless hours of copper-wheel engraving and Steuben’s unique monair process, all by hand. The glass rests on a base made of Birdseye maple, stained to match the waters of the sea.

An English Glass Resource

from Lisa Ackerman Baldwin in the Elegant Glass blog

I saw this website referred to on a Facebook group for English glass and thought you might like to see it as it contains glass we are likely to also come across. It contains companies of Continental Europe, too.

Pastels

Many of the members of the Carder Steuben Club collect other things besides Carder Steuben glass. Member Gordon Hancock is no exception. He is a lifelong collector of American stamps, coins, antiques and antique automobiles. His collections included depression glass and contemporary art glass.

In 1976 he visited the Metropolitan Museum of Art and viewed a display of the works of Louis Comfort Tiffany and decided to include pieces made by LCT in his collections of glass. He bought his first piece of pastel glass from famous art glass dealers Ray and Lee Grover in 1976. Since then he has devoted his collecting to Tiffany pastel glass exclusively. Gordon will present “The Pastel Art Glass of Louis C. Tiffany Furnaces Inc. 1920 – 1928” at the Carder Steuben Symposium, September 15 – 17, 2016.
