Where’s The Donkey
from David Chadwick-Brown
Green elephant was offered as a French cast piece. Though also in black jade and ivory, I’ve wondered if they ever made it in any other colors. in this political season I am also searching for a donkey to match the elephant.
The gold aurene in metal is similar to those shown in Dimitroff, page 63, which are engraved.
No Credit Cards
Auction Chair, Mark Chamovitz reminds you that credit cards can’t be taken for at the Symposium’s Saturday night auction.

Every year the Carder Steuben Club holds a Symposium on Steuben glass, particularly that made during the era of Frederick Carder. Programming for the Symposium consists of lectures and presentations by experts on glass, including museum and library scholars, glass artists and designers, scientists and collectors.
Programming for the Symposium consists of lectures and presentations by experts on the glass of Frederick Carder, museum and library scholars, glass dealers and collectors. Members of the Club often participate by showing their collections or sharing some of their specialized expertise. Additional programming and exhibition tours are also done in conjunction with exhibitions concurrently on display at the Corning Museum of Glass and the resources of the Rakow Research Library are also utilized. While the Symposium is focused on the glass of Frederick Carder, programming also covers other subjects related to Carder Steuben glass like contemporary manufacturers, care and conservation of glass, glass photography, glass technology and glass color, among others.
