We have been, one by one, showing pictures of Carder glass featured at last summer’s Carder Steuben exhibit at the University of Southern Indiana, along with the labels for the individual pieces prepared by Susan Colaricci Sauls, Art Collection Registrar.

Covered Luminor in Calcite with Pulled Feathers of Gold, Ruby and Blue

Calcite and Aurene Colored Glass

Although this is called a luminor, it takes the shape of a common covered vase form used often in Steuben’s productions line. The soft light that emanates from the luminor highlights the pulled feather glass technique used to embellish this work.

Technical note: The word “luminor” is a play on the word luminary or a celestial body that give off light
