Yesterday, we reviewed some notes Bob Mueller transcribed from a meeting he had with Bob &
Bobby Rockwell in Corning in 1982. Bob Mueller asked questions and I related some of their
answers. Today, some more of the reflections of the Rockwell’s. I had one response taking issue with the definition of Pate de Verre. (colored layered glass), suggesting it described cased glass. Keep in mind that this q & a is the result of an interview, notes taken and later described. So, there may be a mistake or two. At any rate, here goes:

Not all jades have an alabaster lining like is often stated in the books. There were times when it wasn’t used. On a lot of jade pieces, such as light blue and dark blue it is very common to find a rough pontil mark. Mandarin yellow appears to look like a piece of Porcelain instead other Steuben glass. It does appear very much different than what you would expect. When you see a piece of Tyrian you will know it. It is like no other piece you’ve ever had in your hands. There are three kinds of Intarsia- A zig zag around the neck of a vase or lamp shade. On Verre de Soie-leaf and vine application on very early pieces. Then the third way, best known, where the Intarsia design is laid into crystal glass. Few people seeing the Verre de Soie pieces realize what it is. We’ll finish the interview tomorrow.
