Description: English glassmaker Frederick Carder (1863-1963) was lured to Corning, New York by American glassmaker Thomas Hawkes in 1903. They formed Steuben Glass Works and were soon rivaling Tiffany in the quantity and quality of their iridescent art glass. Steuben was bought out by Corning Glass in 1918 but continued to produce colored glass under the Steuben name until 1932 when the economics of the Depression led Corning to concentrate almost exclusively on clear glassware. Frederick Carder designed over 7000 different shapes of art glass from 1903-1932 and this magnificent 12-sided vase from approximately 1910 is shape #368. It is an opaque white glass with a light iridescent finish containing tints of gold, blue & violet. Steuben called this color ‘Ivrene’ but it is often confused with another Steuben color called ‘Verre De Soie’ which is a transparent glass with an iridescent finish. When Ivrene was signed (like this one is) it was always signed with an engraved “Steuben” - you will not find an Ivrene piece with an acid-etched mark. The vase measures 10 inches wide by 6.5 inches tall and is in excellent condition for its age. The bottom has some light scratches and their are two rough spots on the inside which look like air bubbles that elongated and popped while the vase was being blown (see picture).
