The Steuben Glass Works in Corning, New York was founded in 1904 by an Englishman, Frederick Carder, who immigrated to America after serving an apprenticeship with John Northwood, a noted British glass artist. Working with Carder in this period was the American Thomas J. Hawkes, but most of the firm’s leading design work can be attributed to Carder.

In the early years Carder created many types of lustrous lead glass, including the iridescent “Aurene”, which proved quite popular.

Carder sold Steuben to the Corning Glass Works in 1918, but continued working with the company until 1936, winning fame for the company in many national and international expositions. Beginning in 1933 the company began building a reputation as one of the world’s foremost creators of fine crystal.
