Vase, 1920-1930
01
Artifact Overview
Aurene was the name that Frederick Carder used for his iridescent art glass at the Steuben Glass Works made in Corning, New York. The glass produces a prismatic effect when light reflects across the surface. This two-handled vase references ancient Greek ceramic water jugs. Steuben made many varieties of colored Aurene glass until 1932, when it moved toward more modern shapes.
