Donald Russell was one of the first staff designers hired for Steuben by John Gates after the company’s reorganization. Among his early exhibition pieces was a heavy-walled bowl in the Art Deco manner that was shown in the Paris Exhibition of 1937.

As one of her research interests, Gail Bardhan, retired librarian from the Rakow Research Library at CMoG, kept a list of American museums with Steuben glass in their collection. I have used her research to find examples of Steuben glass in the collection of the Museum of Fine Art, Houston. Scott Hansen
