The penguin "Hatchling" and penguin "Fledgling" are 2.75" tall. <br>My consignor paid $1900 for this set, I'm pricing them more reasonably as she is<br>trying to liquidate her assets.<br>Steuben Glass is an American art glass manufacturer, founded in the summer of<br>1903 by Frederick Carder and Thomas G. Hawkes in Corning, New York, which is<br>in Steuben County, from which the company name was derived. Hawkes was the owner<br>of the largest cut glass firm then operating in Corning. Carder was an<br>Englishman (born September 18, 1863) who had many years' experience designing<br>glass for Stevens & Williams in England. Hawkes purchased the glass blanks for<br>his cutting shop from many sources and eventually wanted to start a factory to<br>make the blanks himself. Hawkes convinced Carder to come to Corning and manage<br>such a factory. Carder, who had been passed over for promotion at Stevens and<br>Williams, consented to do so. In 1918, Steuben was acquired by Corning Glass<br>Works and became the Steuben Division. In July 2008, Steuben was sold by Corning<br>Incorporated for an undisclosed price to Schottenstein Stores,[2] which also<br>owns 51% of Retail Ventures, a holding company for DSW, Filene's Basement, and<br>formerly Value City Department Stores; Value City Furniture, which changed its<br>name to American Signature Furniture; 15% of American Eagle Outfitters, retail<br>liquidator SB Capital Group, some 50 shopping centers, and 5 factories producing<br>its shoes, furniture and crystal. On September 15, 2011, Schottenstein announced<br>it was shutting down Steuben's Corning factory and Manhattan store, ending the<br>company's 108-year history. Soon after, Corning Incorporated repurchased the<br>Steuben brand. In early 2014, The Corning Museum of Glass announced that it<br>would work with independent contractors to reproduce Steuben using a new,<br>lead-free formula and their classic leaded crystal. Carder period<br>(1903-1932)[edit] Steuben Glass Works started operation in October 1903. Carder<br>produced blanks for Hawkes and also began producing cut glass himself. Carder's<br>great love was colored glass and had been instrumental in the reintroduction of<br>colored glass while at Stevens and Williams. When Steuben's success at producing<br>blanks for Hawkes became assured, Carder began to experiment with colored glass<br>and continued experiments that were started in England. He soon perfected Gold<br>Aurene which was similar to iridescent art glass that was being produced<br>by Tiffany and others. Gold Aurene was followed by a wide range of colored art<br>glass that eventually was produced in more than 7,000 shapes and 140 colors.<br>These are a pair of handblown Steuben gold Aurene glass candlesticks designed by<br>Frederick Carder for the Steuben Glass Works, ca. 1913. (From a private<br>collection in Manhattan, New York.)Steuben Glass Works continued to produce<br>glass of all sorts until World War I. At that time war time restrictions made it<br>impossible for Steuben to acquire the materials needed to continue manufacture.<br>The company was subsequently sold to Corning Glass Works and became the Steuben<br>Division. Carder continued as Division manager without any real change in the<br>company's operation except that he now had reporting responsibilities to Corning<br>Glass Works' management. Corning's management tried, mostly unsuccessfully, to<br>limit the articles that Steuben made to only the most popular. Production<br>continued until about 1932. In 1932, there was a major change in Steuben<br>management. The nationwide depression had limited the sale of Steuben and there<br>was a lessening of public interest in colored glass. In February 1932, John<br>MacKay was appointed to Carder's position. Carder became Art Director for<br>Corning Glass Works. Steuben then produced primarily colorless art glass.<br>Steuben still produced colored art glass, but mostly to fill special orders. A<br>few new colors were added after Carder transitioned into his new role with<br>Corning Glass Works, but the last known sale for colored art glass by Steuben<br>was in 1943. Houghton period (1933–2012) An example of Steuben Glass design<br>during the Houghton era is the Balustrade Candlestick set, which mimics a<br>classical balustrade. Of special note is the hallmark of the perfectly formed<br>tear drop air bubble suspended in the design.Corning Glass Works<br>appointed Arthur A. Houghton Jr. as President in 1933, and under his leadership<br>Steuben changed artistic direction toward more modern forms. Using a newly<br>formulated clear glass developed by Corning (referred to as 10M) which had a<br>very high refraction index, Steuben designers developed beautiful, fluid<br>designs. Pieces such as Gazelle Bowl, designed by Sidney Waugh incorporated Art<br>Deco and modernist themes into glass. The themes during this period included<br>"balustrade" designs for water goblets and candlesticks, footed bowls and<br>serving pieces. Decorative forms included wildlife pieces representing owls,<br>penguins and other birds in smooth stylistic forms. Some pieces, such as the<br>Ram's Head Candy Dish, playfully included clean lines crowned by an ornate<br>design (a ram's head, complete with a ruff) on the lid as an homage to its<br>classic earlier pieces. The company also entered into the field of larger show<br>and presentation pieces celebrating various scenes (such as its cut-away design<br>featuring an Eskimo ice fisherman above the ice, and the fish below, or the<br>Cathedral Window design) and elements that incorporated etchings. In some cases<br>sterling silver or gold plating were used on metal finish elements such as the<br>golden "fly" atop the nose of a rainbow trout. Each piece is signed simply with<br>"Steuben" on the underside of the object. Toward the 1990s, the company also<br>began production of small objects—"hand coolers"—in various animal shapes. Items<br>from this period were also noted for their careful and elegant packaging. Before<br>boxing, each Steuben piece was placed in a silver-gray flannel bag (stitched<br>with the Steuben name), and then placed in a presentation box.<br><br>tw179

c1910 Quezal Iridescent American Art glass diminutive bowl 4.5" wide with great<br>iridescence, no cracks, chips, or restorations.<br><br>toothpickdrawer<br><br>Quezal Art Glass – The Journal of Antiques and Collectibles – April 2003<br><br>By Malcolm Mac Neil<br><br>Some of the most beautiful and alluring art glass made in America during the<br>early part of the 20th Century was made by the Quezal Art Glass and Decorating<br>Company. Often in the shape of blossoming lilies with brilliant gold interiors<br>and colorfully decorated with floral and other motifs inspired by nature, Quezal<br>art glass ranks right alongside the iridescent glass of Louis Comfort Tiffany<br>and Frederick Carder. Quezal artisans created an extensive range of decorative<br>and useful items, including vases, compotes, finger bowls, open salts, candle<br>holders, and shades for lighting fixtures, which are equivalent in terms of<br>beauty and quality of craftsmanship to Tiffany’s Favrile and Carder’s Aurene<br>glass. In recent years, glass collectors have discovered anew the special charms<br>and appeal of Quezal art glass, and collector desirability for this lovely<br>glassware has increased dramatically.<br><br>The Quezal Art Glass and Decorating Company was incorporated a century ago, on<br>March 27, 1902. It was founded by Martin Bach, Sr., Thomas Johnson, Nicholas<br>Bach, Lena Scholtz, and Adolph Demuth. The factory was located on the corner of<br>Fresh Pond Road and Metropolitan Avenue in Maspeth, Queens, New York. In October<br>1902, the trademark “Quezal” was successfully registered. By 1904, roughly fifty<br>glassworkers were employed at the works.<br><br>Martin Bach, Sr. was the president, proprietor, and guiding force behind this<br>successful company. Born in 1862 in Alsace-Lorraine to German parents, he<br>emigrated to the United States in 1891. Before his emigration, Bach worked in<br>Saint-Louis, France, at the Saint-Louis Glass Factory. After Bach arrived in<br>this country, he was hired by Louis C. Tiffany as the latter’s first batch-mixer<br>or chemist at the newly established Tiffany Glass and Decorating Company, in<br>Corona, Queens. After a period of about eight years, Bach left Tiffany and<br>established his own glassworks. By this time, Bach had already started his small<br>family. He and his German-born wife, Anne-Marie Geisser, whom he married in the<br>fall of 1889, in Paris, France, had three children. Two daughters, Jennie and<br>Louise, were born in France and a son, Martin, Jr., was born in Corona.<br><br>Bach was assisted by Thomas Johnson, an English immigrant, and Maurice Kelly, a<br>native of Corona, both of whom were gaffers or master glassblowers. Johnson and<br>Kelly helped pave the way for Quezal’s early accomplishments and later<br>recognition. Thomas Johnson, like Bach, was a founding member and also<br>previously employed by Louis C. Tiffany. Johnson’s association with Quezal,<br>however, was relatively short lived. Around 1907, Johnson left for Somerville,<br>Massachusetts, where he became involved in making Kew Blas glass, under William<br>S. Blake at the Union Glass Company. Maurice Kelly’s tenure with Quezal was also<br>brief. Kelly worked at Quezal from January 1902 until July 1904, but by November<br>1904, he was making Favrile glass at Tiffany Furnaces, where he would happily<br>remain until 1918.<br><br>To this day, the belief still exists that there once existed a man named Quezal,<br>who worked for Louis C. Tiffany, and it is after him that Quezal glass is named.<br>In truth, however, the founders of the Quezal Art Glass and Decorating Company<br>named the company and its products after one of the world’s most beautiful<br>birds, the elusive and rare quetzal, which dwells in the treetops of the remote<br>tropical forests of Central America. A rare company promotional brochure<br>provides a vivid description of the quetzal: Of all the birds of the America’s,<br>it is the most gorgeous. No more splendid sight is to be seen in all the world<br>than a quezal, flying like a darting flame through the depths of a Central<br>American forest. Its back is of a brilliant metallic green, so vivid it shines<br>even in the twilight of the woods like a great emerald and its breast is a<br>crimson so deep and bright that every motion of the wonderful creature is a<br>flashing of rubies among the trees and giant creepers. It bears a true golden<br>crown upon its head – a helmet of bright yellow and green, shaped just as the<br>helmet of old Aztec kings were shaped. Its tail is composed of lacelike plumes,<br>extending more than two and one-half feet beyond its body.<br><br>The quezal was certainly an appropriate designation for the company’s<br>resplendent glassware. One of the most prized characteristics of Quezal art<br>glass is the shimmering and dazzling brilliance reflected in the iridescent<br>surfaces on the interior as well as exterior of the glass. The radiant rainbow<br>colors in metallic hues, including gold, purple, blue, green, and pink, to name<br>only a few, were certainly inspired by the quetzal and its feathers. Not<br>surprisingly, lustrous feathers, in shades of opal, gold, emerald, and blue, are<br>among the most common decorative motifs encountered on Quezal glass.<br><br>The enduring hallmark of Quezal art glass is its unique expression of the Art<br>Nouveau style, based on organic shapes and naturalistic motifs coupled with<br>technical perfection in the . Vases, compotes, drinking vessels, and shades for<br>lighting fixtures were often fashioned to resemble flowers such as crocuses,<br>tulips, calla lilies, casablanca lilies, and jack-in-the-pulpits. Variously<br>colored inlaid threads of glass, pulled and twisted by hooks, simulate<br>naturalistic floral and leaf patterns, lily pads, clover leafs, and vines. Opal,<br>gold, and green colors prevail and the glass is generally opaque. Red is the<br>rarest color of all. Compared with Tiffany’s Favrile glass, the crisp, vivid,<br>and colorful decoration of Quezal art glass is distinctively precise,<br>symmetrical, and restrained.<br><br>Other Quezal wares recall shapes and styles favored in ancient Egypt, Persia,<br>Greece, and Rome, as well as the Italian Renaissance and the Georgian period in<br>England. This is especially true of classic-shaped vases and bowls of<br>translucent amber glass, which have a single surface color such as iridescent<br>gold or blue. Still, others were inspired by traditional Chinese and Japanese<br>forms.<br><br>The Gorham Manufacturing Company in Providence, Rhode Island, and the Alvin<br>Silver Manufacturing Company in Sag Harbor, Long Island, purchased Quezal art<br>glass, which they in turn embellished in their shops with silver overlay<br>decoration in the fashionable Art Nouveau style and later resold. Gorham’s<br>silver overlay designs mostly include stylized floral motifs. Alvin’s silver<br>designs are wonderfully organic. One sumptuous design is of a group of sinuous<br>iris blossoms with carefully articulated petals surrounded by attenuated<br>meandering vines. Collectors should note that not all silver-deposit pieces are<br>marked with a maker’s mark since the silversmith had to be quite careful not to<br>damage the glass underneath.<br><br>A rare 1907 retail catalog survives from Bailey, Banks, and Biddle Company, a<br>luxury goods retailer in Philadelphia, which reveals original retail prices of<br>Quezal art glass. A surprising revelation provided by this catalog is that<br>Quezal art glass was nearly twice as expensive as comparable French imported<br>glass made by such renowned firms as Gallé and Daum. Hock glasses, a stemmed<br>glass used primarily for drinking German white wine, were sold by the dozen and<br>retailed between $50 and $75. Fingerbowls were also sold by the dozen and<br>retailed between $50 and $100. These high retail prices were nearly the same as<br>those charged for Tiffany’s Favrile glass, and suggest Quezal art glass was also<br>marketed towards the high-end or luxury market.<br><br>Electricity was a brand new invention in the late 1800s and American glass<br>manufacturers developed novel approaches for concealing the electric light bulb,<br>which was rather harsh to the eye and perhaps unflattering to the domestic<br>interior. Tiffany, Steuben, and Quezal responded to this need with the most<br>extraordinary and beautiful art-glass shades, all of which were hand-made and<br>exquisitely fashioned. Many other companies also made art glass shades for table<br>and floor lamps, electroliers, hallway fixtures, and wall sconces, but it was<br>Quezal that excelled in this area and was the most prolific.<br><br>Quezal art glass shades were available in an infinite variety of shapes, sizes,<br>colors, and decorations. Some shades are formed and decorated as lilies while<br>others are bell-shaped and have ribbed or textured decoration. Rims are usually<br>plain but sometimes are notched or ruffled. Common motifs include feather or<br>hooked feather, leaf and vine, applied flowers, drape, fishnet, King Tut, and<br>spider webbing. The workmanship shown on most Quezal shades is of the highest<br>caliber. The sale of these shades represented a significant portion of the<br>firm’s revenue. Many manufacturers and retailers of electric lighting fixtures<br>purchased Quezal shades to sell with their fixtures, including Edward F.<br>Caldwell and Company in New York City, Stuart-Howland Company in Boston, and The<br>David J. Braun Mfg. Co., in Chicago. The 1907 Bailey, Banks and Biddle retail<br>catalog mentioned earlier, reveals Quezal art glass shades retailed between<br>$7.50 and $22.50 per shade. Today, Quezal shades are actively collected and<br>prices are considerably higher, especially for the rarest, largest, and most<br>elaborately decorated ones.<br><br>Amazingly, little is known about the original names for each of the company’s<br>products – for they certainly had them. One most satisfying exception is an<br>attractive and distinctive line introduced by Quezal in 1917, which was<br>appropriately named “The Glass That Looks Like Pottery.” The subtle color<br>blending and soft finish of the glass has all the rich color tones of the finest<br>contemporary art pottery produced in America or abroad. In 1919, Quezal’s new<br>sales representatives, Dela Croix & Wilcken, who were located at 19 Madison<br>Avenue in Manhattan, changed the name to “Innovation.”<br><br>“Innovation” is distinguished from Quezal’s other art glass because it is not<br>iridescent. In addition, the high-gloss body of the glass is always opaque and<br>usually consists of a subtle and artistic blending of colors that include dark<br>and light brown, olive green, gray, pale blue, lavender, dark orange, and pale<br>yellow. Previously this glass has been referred to as “stone,” “agate” or<br>“laminated” glass, which are the different terms used to designate a similar<br>type of glass by the Tiffany Glass and Decorating Company. No two pieces are<br>alike. The over-all effect is otherworldly and sometimes reminiscent of a<br>tropical sunset. In some cases, the shape and coloring are strikingly similar to<br>ceramics; in others the decoration is bold and distinctive.<br><br>Fortunately, a few of the line drawing sketchbooks, trade catalog pages,<br>bill-heads, correspondence and other papers from the Quezal glassworks have<br>survived. In 1994, these papers were donated by the children of Martin Bach,<br>Jr., Gladyce Bach Wells, and Clifford Bach, to the Museum of American Glass at<br>Wheaton Village in Millville, New Jersey. One of these documents reveals the<br>original pattern designations, which included diamond, curl, hammered, frill,<br>block-a-dot, reed, feather, leaf, heart, and spider. The “spider” decoration is<br>certainly an appropriate designation for this type of glass. It is easily<br>recognizable by the very thin threads of amber glass randomly wrapped around<br>some vases and shades, much like a real spider would weave its web. Detailed<br>line drawings exist for a wide variety of items and demonstrate the high level<br>of technical skill required by Quezal artisans, who manufactured these items<br>according to clearly prescribed specifications.<br><br>Most companies that produced art glass in this country followed the lead of<br>Louis C. Tiffany and marked their products with an identifying signature or a<br>paper label to distinguish their products from those of their competitors. The<br>Quezal glassworks was no exception. Quezal art glass is usually signed so it can<br>be more easily distinguished from similar items, including those marked Tiffany,<br>Steuben, Kew Blas, Imperial, Fostoria, Lustre Art, and Durand. A few of the<br>different marks that are sometimes found on genuine Quezal items include “Quezal<br>N.Y.,” “Quezal,” accompanied by a decorative scroll underline, and “Quezal”<br>together with a prefix letter and numeral. Two variations of the mark, “Quezal,”<br>by itself, are known: it appears either engraved into the surface of the glass<br>or else a special pencil or stylus was used, which left a platinum or silver<br>signature. Vases and other tableware items are generally signed on the underside<br>in the area of the pontil mark. The signature on a Quezal shade is usually found<br>along the interior of the fitter rim, which is the part of the shade that<br>adheres to the lighting fixture.<br><br>Martin Bach, Sr. was often given to generous actions and gave away a good many<br>pieces of his beautiful Quezal glass to neighbors, friends, and even settled his<br>local debts with his wares. When he died of cancer on August 1, 1921, at the age<br>of fifty-nine in the Greenpoint Hospital in Brooklyn, unfilled orders for Quezal<br>art glass totaled some $350,000 – a considerable sum in 1921. Complicating<br>matters, Quezal was experiencing financial difficulties under the management of<br>Robert Robinson, president, and Martin Bach, Jr., vice-president.<br><br>Dr. John Ferguson, a close friend of the Bach family and their family physician,<br>was brought in as an investor. Dr. Ferguson, together with three other wealthy<br>friends, raised the capital necessary to keep the factory operational. The<br>investors contributed an undisclosed sum of money and promised additional<br>financing if Martin Bach Jr. could show a profit of $1,000 at the end of the<br>year.<br><br>Notwithstanding the infusion of capital, in December 1923, the Quezal Art Glass<br>and Decorating Company was sold to Edward Conlan, a personal friend of Dr.<br>Ferguson, and in January 1924, the Quezal Art Glass and Decorating Company was<br>reorganized as the Quezal Glass Manufacturing Company. Dr. Ferguson served as<br>president and Martin Bach Jr. served as general manager. The reorganized company<br>continued to make both commercial and artistic glassware and even introduced<br>many new articles.<br><br>Several important glass artisans were employed in the art glass shop, including<br>Harry and Percy Britton, William Wiedebine, and Emil Larson, a gaffer hired in<br>1923. Sadly, by early 1924, the majority, if not all, of Quezal’s artisans from<br>the art glass shop had left the factory, which closed soon thereafter. These<br>individuals and Martin Bach, Jr., who was in possession of his father’s<br>glassmaking formulas, moved on to other glass manufacturers, including the<br>Imperial Glass Company in Bellaire, Ohio, and the Durand Art Glass division of<br>the Vineland Flint Glass Works, in Vineland, New Jersey.<br>tw210

Durand was the art glass<br>division of Vineland Flint Glass Works in New Jersey which was founded by Victor<br>Durand in 1897. Many of the glass artists came from the Quezal Art Glass company<br>which closed in 1924. The artists at Durand were granted a great deal of freedom<br>to produce glass in a variety of styles. Many pieces were blown using an unusual<br>yellow glass which many collectors now refer to as "Ambergris". Durand produced<br>a wide variety of art glass items including bowls, vases, perfume bottles,<br>candlesticks and lamps. Durand's art glass quickly gained fame for its beauty<br>and quality.

It constantly reinvented<br>and re-invigorated its business through creativity in texture, decoration,<br>pattern, and color - developing a variety of styles and decorating techniques<br>which were so technically complex that few are even practiced today.<br><br>The Mt. Washington Glass Company was founded in South Boston in 1837, and moved<br>to New Bedford, Massachusetts, in 1870. In 1880, Thomas J.

Washington’s owners established to produce<br>ornate silver-plated mounts for Mt. Washington glass.<br><br>In 1894, the Pairpoint Manufacturing Company absorbed Mt. Washington, and the<br>company was renamed the Pairpoint Corporation in 1900, which remained the<br>company’s name until it went out of business in 1938. It was revived briefly as<br>the Gundersen-Pairpoint Glass Company but closed permanently in 1957.

By the<br>time he resigned in 1891, he had amassed a total of 27 patents and five design<br>patents for various types of glass, most of which were quite successful.<br><br>In 1885, Shirley introduced Burmese glass, a translucent glass that shaded from<br>yellow to pink, which was highly decorated in the elegant and sophisticated<br>style characteristic of the day. It became an immediate success on the Art Glass<br>market. Shirley was a good businessman and took advantage of the dawning age of<br>advertising to promote Burmese glass extensively.<br><br>Mt.

1994 David Lotton Shot Glasses Alpha and beta. Selling the two vessels for you to use for whatever. Tallest is about the size of a typical shot glass or cordial 2" tall x 1.5" wide, the other is 1.25" tall x 1.5" wide. Smaller is inscribed as a gift from David. No damage to either. DAVID LOTTON David Lotton is a second generation American glassblower. He is the oldest son of Charles Lotton and was introduced to the world of glassblowing at a very young age. In 1970, Charles started building a furnace and began blowing pieces of glass from melted down pop bottles in a shed behind their house. David was there in this infancy and he was Charles first assistant at the age of ten. David has vivid memories of his childhood working in the shop with his father. When most children were playing childhood games he was spending time after school and on the weekends helping him at the bench. By the age of 14 he started learning how to do finishing work, polishing the bottom of the glass flat. David eventually followed in his fathers' footsteps and by the age of 15 began making paperweights. That ignited a passion to begin glass blowing. David has been creating his one of a kind vessels since 1978. His unique handcrafted works are designed with precise attention to detail. Developing his own glass formulas, David has created a complex palette of colors, giving him the ability to create his multi-layering and sculpting style. Each year David continues to study and refine the techniques he uses in creating his art. David's Clematis Reflection Series, Hollyhock Paperweight Series and Mixed Bouquets Series all reflect his floral patterns which capture his love for detail. He combines color and layering to create depth and beauty. His Organic Sculptures reflect movement and rich hues of a summer sunset. David is inspired by all nature. He has a successful ranch in the hills of Kentucky where he is inspired to evolve, change, and grow continually. He commutes back and forth to fulfill both loves. toothpickdrawer

Further reheating turned the salmon color back to<br>yellow. The uranium in the glass causes the vase to fluoresce brightly when<br>exposed to black light. Burmese glass is highly collected and is also included<br>in all major American Art Glass collections. This glass is rare today as it was<br>very expensive to manufacture and was only made for a short period of time.

Washington and its successor, the Pairpoint Corporation, was one of America’s longest-running luxury glass companies (1837-1957), one that rivaled its better known contemporaries, Tiffany and Steuben. It constantly reinvented and re-invigorated its business through creativity in texture, decoration, pattern, and color - developing a variety of styles and decorating techniques which were so technically complex that few are even practiced today.The Mt. Washington Glass Company was founded in South Boston in 1837, and moved to New Bedford, Massachusetts, in 1870. In 1880, Thomas J.

It became an immediate success on the Art Glass market. Shirley was a good businessman and took advantage of the dawning age of advertising to promote Burmese glass extensively.Mt. Washington’s large decorating shop specialized in enameling.

Houghton period (1933–2012) An example of Steuben Glass design<br>during the Houghton era is the Balustrade Candlestick set, which mimics a<br>classical balustrade. Of special note is the hallmark of the perfectly formed<br>tear drop air bubble suspended in the design.Corning Glass Works<br>appointed Arthur A. Houghton Jr. as President in 1933, and under his leadership<br>Steuben changed artistic direction toward more modern forms. Using a newly<br>formulated clear glass developed by Corning (referred to as 10M) which had a<br>very high refraction index, Steuben designers developed beautiful, fluid<br>designs. Pieces such as Gazelle Bowl, designed by Sidney Waugh incorporated Art<br>Deco and modernist themes into glass. The themes during this period included<br>"balustrade" designs for water goblets and candlesticks, footed bowls and<br>serving pieces. Decorative forms included wildlife pieces representing owls,<br>penguins and other birds in smooth stylistic forms. Some pieces, such as the<br>Ram's Head Candy Dish, playfully included clean lines crowned by an ornate<br>design (a ram's head, complete with a ruff) on the lid as an homage to its<br>classic earlier pieces. The company also entered into the field of larger show<br>and presentation pieces celebrating various scenes (such as its cut-away design<br>featuring an Eskimo ice fisherman above the ice, and the fish below, or the<br>Cathedral Window design) and elements that incorporated etchings. In some cases<br>sterling silver or gold plating were used on metal finish elements such as the<br>golden "fly" atop the nose of a rainbow trout. Each piece is signed simply with<br>"Steuben" on the underside of the object. Toward the 1990s, the company also<br>began production of small objects—"hand coolers"—in various animal shapes. Items<br>from this period were also noted for their careful and elegant packaging. Before<br>boxing, each Steuben piece was placed in a silver-gray flannel bag (stitched<br>with the Steuben name), and then placed in a presentation box.<br><br><br><br>tw274

1993 David Lotton Leaf and Vine Art glass vase 7.75" tall with no cracks, chips, restorations, or wear. Signed David Lotton 1993 Leaf and Vine. The inside of this vase is iridescent. DAVID LOTTON David Lotton is a second generation American glassblower. He is the oldest son of Charles Lotton and was introduced to the world of glassblowing at a very young age. In 1970, Charles started building a furnace and began blowing pieces of glass from melted down pop bottles in a shed behind their house. David was there in this infancy and he was Charles first assistant at the age of ten. David has vivid memories of his childhood working in the shop with his father. When most children were playing childhood games he was spending time after school and on the weekends helping him at the bench. By the age of 14 he started learning how to do finishing work, polishing the bottom of the glass flat. David eventually followed in his fathers' footsteps and by the age of 15 began making paperweights. That ignited a passion to begin glass blowing. David has been creating his one of a kind vessels since 1978. His unique handcrafted works are designed with precise attention to detail. Developing his own glass formulas, David has created a complex palette of colors, giving him the ability to create his multi-layering and sculpting style. Each year David continues to study and refine the techniques he uses in creating his art. David's Clematis Reflection Series, Hollyhock Paperweight Series and Mixed Bouquets Series all reflect his floral patterns which capture his love for detail. He combines color and layering to create depth and beauty. His Organic Sculptures reflect movement and rich hues of a summer sunset. David is inspired by all nature. He has a successful ranch in the hills of Kentucky where he is inspired to evolve, change, and grow continually. He commutes back and forth to fulfill both loves. tw274

c1880 Mt Washington Uranium Glass Burmese Rose bowl/vase 4 7/8" tall and wide with no damage, ground pontil, guaranteed authentic. Designed by Frederick Shirley and made by the Mount Washington Glass Company, this single layer glass achieved a delicate coloration of pink or salmon shading to yellow by the addition of uranium oxide and gold to the original glass batch. This created a yellow opaque glass which on reheating turned to a salmon color shading into the yellow. Further reheating turned the salmon color back to yellow. The uranium in the glass causes the vase to fluoresce brightly when exposed to black light. Burmese glass is highly collected and is also included in all major American Art Glass collections. This glass is rare today as it was very expensive to manufacture and was only made for a short period of time.

He is an American glass<br>artist who has been able to change the history of art within his lifetime.<br>Morris was educated at California State University in Chico, California as well<br>as Central Washington University in Ellensburg, Washington. 
In 1978, Morris<br>arrived at the Pilchuck Glass School and found work initially as a driver.<br>Later, he worked with Dale Chihuly, the founder of the school, and eventually<br>became his chief gaffer in the 1980s. Morris remained with Chihuly for about 10<br>years as his chief assistant before deciding to form his own studio and develop<br>his own artistic style of glass blowing.<br><br>For more than twenty-five years, William Morris has captivated and intrigued the<br>art community with hauntingly evocative and beautiful glass sculptures. He has<br>captured the imagination time and again by creating objects that appear to be<br>ancient stone or woodcarvings, not the modern glass sculptures they actually<br>are. His art speaks of human origins, myth, ancestry, and ancient civilizations.<br>It symbolizes a harmony between humanity and nature and provides a ghost-like<br>bond to the world around us – a world that is often forgotten, ignored, and<br>abused.<br><br>Morris gathers much of his inspiration from ancient cultures from around the<br>world – Egyptian, Asian, Native American – all peoples who respected and admired<br>the land they inhabited. Because of this, Morris’s artwork has become something<br>all its own: culturally distinct and yet familiar to all cultures. His pieces<br>embody a spiritual quality that sharply contrasts old beliefs with those of the<br>modern world. These objects speak to our senses and continuously beg us to<br>explore them further.<br><br>Morris achieved much success during his career and retired in 2007.

A few tiny non distractive scratches under close<br>examination and of course the expected shelf wear on base as this is an<br>old/heavy piece of glass.<br><br>Steuben Glass is an American art glass manufacturer, founded in the summer of<br>1903 by Frederick Carder and Thomas G. Hawkes in Corning, New York, which is<br>in Steuben County, from which the company name was derived. Hawkes was the owner<br>of the largest cut glass firm then operating in Corning. Carder was an<br>Englishman (born September 18, 1863) who had many years' experience designing<br>glass for Stevens & Williams in England. Hawkes purchased the glass blanks for<br>his cutting shop from many sources and eventually wanted to start a factory to<br>make the blanks himself. Hawkes convinced Carder to come to Corning and manage<br>such a factory. Carder, who had been passed over for promotion at Stevens and<br>Williams, consented to do so. In 1918, Steuben was acquired by Corning Glass<br>Works and became the Steuben Division. In July 2008, Steuben was sold by Corning<br>Incorporated for an undisclosed price to Schottenstein Stores,[2] which also<br>owns 51% of Retail Ventures, a holding company for DSW, Filene's Basement, and<br>formerly Value City Department Stores; Value City Furniture, which changed its<br>name to American Signature Furniture; 15% of American Eagle Outfitters, retail<br>liquidator SB Capital Group, some 50 shopping centers, and 5 factories producing<br>its shoes, furniture and crystal. On September 15, 2011, Schottenstein announced<br>it was shutting down Steuben's Corning factory and Manhattan store, ending the<br>company's 108-year history. Soon after, Corning Incorporated repurchased the<br>Steuben brand. In early 2014, The Corning Museum of Glass announced that it<br>would work with independent contractors to reproduce Steuben using a new,<br>lead-free formula and their classic leaded crystal. Carder period<br>(1903-1932)[edit] Steuben Glass Works started operation in October 1903. Carder<br>produced blanks for Hawkes and also began producing cut glass himself. Carder's<br>great love was colored glass and had been instrumental in the reintroduction of<br>colored glass while at Stevens and Williams. When Steuben's success at producing<br>blanks for Hawkes became assured, Carder began to experiment with colored glass<br>and continued experiments that were started in England. He soon perfected Gold<br>Aurene which was similar to iridescent art glass that was being produced<br>by Tiffany and others. Gold Aurene was followed by a wide range of colored art<br>glass that eventually was produced in more than 7,000 shapes and 140 colors.<br>These are a pair of handblown Steuben gold Aurene glass candlesticks designed by<br>Frederick Carder for the Steuben Glass Works, ca. 1913. (From a private<br>collection in Manhattan, New York.)Steuben Glass Works continued to produce<br>glass of all sorts until World War I. At that time war time restrictions made it<br>impossible for Steuben to acquire the materials needed to continue manufacture.<br>The company was subsequently sold to Corning Glass Works and became the Steuben<br>Division. Carder continued as Division manager without any real change in the<br>company's operation except that he now had reporting responsibilities to Corning<br>Glass Works' management. Corning's management tried, mostly unsuccessfully, to<br>limit the articles that Steuben made to only the most popular. Production<br>continued until about 1932. In 1932, there was a major change in Steuben<br>management. The nationwide depression had limited the sale of Steuben and there<br>was a lessening of public interest in colored glass. In February 1932, John<br>MacKay was appointed to Carder's position. Carder became Art Director for<br>Corning Glass Works. Steuben then produced primarily colorless art glass.<br>Steuben still produced colored art glass, but mostly to fill special orders. A<br>few new colors were added after Carder transitioned into his new role with<br>Corning Glass Works, but the last known sale for colored art glass by Steuben<br>was in 1943. Houghton period (1933–2012) An example of Steuben Glass design<br>during the Houghton era is the Balustrade Candlestick set, which mimics a<br>classical balustrade. Of special note is the hallmark of the perfectly formed<br>tear drop air bubble suspended in the design.Corning Glass Works<br>appointed Arthur A. Houghton Jr. as President in 1933, and under his leadership<br>Steuben changed artistic direction toward more modern forms. Using a newly<br>formulated clear glass developed by Corning (referred to as 10M) which had a<br>very high refraction index, Steuben designers developed beautiful, fluid<br>designs. Pieces such as Gazelle Bowl, designed by Sidney Waugh incorporated Art<br>Deco and modernist themes into glass. The themes during this period included<br>"balustrade" designs for water goblets and candlesticks, footed bowls and<br>serving pieces. Decorative forms included wildlife pieces representing owls,<br>penguins and other birds in smooth stylistic forms. Some pieces, such as the<br>Ram's Head Candy Dish, playfully included clean lines crowned by an ornate<br>design (a ram's head, complete with a ruff) on the lid as an homage to its<br>classic earlier pieces. The company also entered into the field of larger show<br>and presentation pieces celebrating various scenes (such as its cut-away design<br>featuring an Eskimo ice fisherman above the ice, and the fish below, or the<br>Cathedral Window design) and elements that incorporated etchings. In some cases<br>sterling silver or gold plating were used on metal finish elements such as the<br>golden "fly" atop the nose of a rainbow trout. Each piece is signed simply with<br>"Steuben" on the underside of the object. Toward the 1990s, the company also<br>began production of small objects—"hand coolers"—in various animal shapes. Items<br>from this period were also noted for their careful and elegant packaging. Before<br>boxing, each Steuben piece was placed in a silver-gray flannel bag (stitched<br>with the Steuben name), and then placed in a presentation box.<br><br>tw5
