Additional Activities

Additional activity at CMOG during Symposium Weekend – September 15 – 17:

Harry Allen (prominent NY designer) will be at CMOG working on a couple of Steuben items. He worked with Steuben in the past, although it was near the time when Steuben closed.

Steuben Business Development at CMOG has invited Mr. Allen back for some additional collaboration on a couple of pieces that were worked on in 2010-2011. His schedule for the weekend includes two sessions which are open to the public:

Saturday, September 17 – demo in the amphitheater from 3:30 – 5:30 pm

Sunday, September 18 – working session/demo in the amphitheater from 10 am – noon

Mr. Allen’s work will primarily be focused on a Steuben Piggy Bank. The Museum has a design of his that they are working to bring to market, but while he’s at CMOG the hot glass team will work with him to create a “giant” version. This will occur in the amphitheater sessions Saturday and Sunday. Club members are welcome to take advantage of these sessions with your CMOG membership that is part of your Club benefits.

Reeded Cologne

I recently bought this cologne bottle at auction but after receiving it I have questions I hope the group can answer. The form looks Steuben, #6605 in the small neck version, but not the color. The color is some kind of staining or flashing over the bottle and the threading, which was once black. The neck has been repaired and you can see in the photo where the color has been removed and when I washed it the soap turned a peachy color. In the Gardner book it states that “stained wares were not Steuben production items.” When you look through the neck to the bottom you can see that the bottle was clear. Also, on the threading there seems to be a rust colored “caking” on the top of the treading which I hope you can see in the picture. Any information would be appreciated.

Thank you.
