STEUBEN ROUGE FLAMBE
STEUBEN ROUGE FLAMBE TUMBLERDESCRIPTION: Steuben rouge flambe tumbler with tomato red towards orange coloring. Finished with random reeding at the bottom, and pontil.
Soda- Lime Glass
Reference:
Shape 6359, See advertising brochure where this piece is identified in the brochure as to shape #, not shown in Gardner. Fig. 6.15 p. 140 of Frederick Carder and Steuben Glass by Thomas P. Dimitroff.
Likely, a set with Toothbrush Holder #6767, Piece # 245.
Attribution to original owner, an employee of Steuben.
Pictured at p. 99 of Objects of Desire, The Art of Frederick Carder by Alan Shovers
Opaque and lined with flint white per Beth Shaut of Rockwell=s. Beth Shout originally opined that this wasn't an authentic piece of Rouge Flambe because she never saw rouge flambe with reeding. She also opined that Frederick Carder never signed pieces with that form of signature on the side of a piece, except for Intarsia pieces. Subsequently, on around Feb. 26, 2002 she reported talking to Bobby Rockwell who Said it was Steuben and that the color and translucency on the edge was from being over cooked. She then goes on to apologize because she was wrong. In Glass Art Reflect the Future: Art and technical glass from the collection of The Paul Vickers Gardner Glass Center, Published at Alfred University 2002 p.3 it states: Carder never produced this fragile glass commercially; 25 large pieces known to exist may be viewed in the Frederick Carder Collection of the Corning Museum of Glass. The experimental pieces in the exhibit demonstrate the variance between translucency and opacity, depending on the degree of crystallization that occurred.
Jim Barlow reports on 5/30/02 following a research trip to the Rakow that he found a reference to a rouge flambe with reeded know shape #6158(puff box/candy jar). Retail $6.00; in Cerise Ruby the most common color, $7.50.
This is the least likely glass to be encountered among any of the Carder opaques or semi opaques, or for that matter, among almost any type of his glass. A vivid dense warm red leaning toward the yellow or orange direction, it is made of a combination of chemicals, one of which was selenium that required careful proportioning and manipulation to produce the rich tomato-like color. Mr. Carder state that this was very difficult to make and that very few pieces were made. Ill. No. H-23, see p. 112 Carder=steuben Glass Handbook and Price Guide by John F. Hotchkiss.

The Second most sought after Steuben item in colored crystal is the ware known by this name(Cluthra). As with items in the Acid Cut Back category, Cluthra was not produced in any great quantity, though most certainly a much greater number were crafted than the former. Another similarity between Cluthra and the Acid Cutbacks is the size, usually quite large and similarly thick and heavy. A Guide to Colored Steuben Glass 1903-1933 by Ericson, p. 43
Green (color) is quite unusual. Ref. Collectors Choice Review #18. Pictured Cluthra is one of several early Steuben glasses deriving their appearance from inclusions.

STEUBEN ROUGE FLAMBE
STEUBEN ROUGE FLAMBE TUMBLERDESCRIPTION: Rouge flambe toothbrush holder with tomato red towards orange coloring and random reeding at the bottom.
Soda-lime glass.
Signed Fredk Carder at the side, above the reeding.
Reference:
Shape 6767, p. 245 Gardner.
Pictured at p. 99-100 of Objects of Desire, The Art of Frederick Carder by Alan Shovers
Eric E. Ericson in the first volume to his treatise, A Guide to Colored Steuben Glass 1903 - 1933 p. 9 says, Frederick Carders favorite and most difficult glass to make was the only production to carry his personal AFREDK CARDER in bold Spencerian script. Other special presentation pieces were often signed in the same manner, but these were not production Steuben in the sense we shall consider in this treatise.
See Advertising brochure where this piece is identified in the brochure as to shape Fig. 6.15 p. 140 of Frederick Carder and Steuben Glass by Thomas P. Dimitroff. At p. 239 Fig. 10.92, a paperweight cologne is shown with the Intarsia style signature on the base on the side.
Shape shown on the cover of Frederick Carder steuben Glass by Marshall Ketchum.
See shape p. 55 of A Guide to Colored Steuben Glass 1903 - 1933 by Eric E. Ericson.
Jim Barlow reports on 5/30/02 following a research trip to the Rakow that he found a reference to a rouge flambe with reeded know shape #6158(puff box/candy jar). Retail $6.00; in Cerise Ruby the most common color, $7.50.
Toothbrush holders were commonly sold in sets with a tumbler and a soap dish. There is a matching Rouge Flambe tumbler, shape 1185, with reeding. In Alan Shovers collection, piece.
This is the least likely glass to be encountered among any of the Carder opaques or semi opaques, or for that matter, among almost any type of his glass. A vivid dense warm red leaning toward the yellow or orange direction, it is made of a combination of chemicals, one of which was selenium that required careful proportioning and manipulation to produce the rich tomato-like color. Mr. Carder states that this was very difficult to make and that very few pieces were made. lll. No. H-23, see p. 112 Carder steuben Glass Handbook and Price Guide by John F. Hotchkiss.
Like Mandarin Yellow, Rouge Flambe was also inspired by Chinese porcelains; both these glasses were made in shapes suggestive of oriental ceramics, and both were difficult to produce and particularly vulnerable to breakage caused by strains within the glass.
Rouge Flambe pieces range in color from a rich red, as in Color Plate XXIII A, which was the color Carder was seeking, to an orange or coral tone. The color was produced by the addition of selenium and cadmium sulfide to the glass batch. As a result of the production difficulties, Rouge Flambe was made for only about two years, probably in 1916 and 1919. (See also Color Plate XXIV A.) The Glass of Frederick Carder by Paul V. Gardner, p. 81
Viewing Plate XXIII of Gardner the tallest piece is 6 2 A. Also, the decorated piece shown at plate XXIV is 4 1/4" H.
Rouge Flambe is among the rarest of Carder glasses. Fig. 8.58, p. 198 of Frederick Carder and Steuben Glass by Thomas P. Dimitroff. Technical production difficulties, such as glass formulas that yielded unstable glass, also could result in very few items be made. This was the case with Mandarin Yellow, Rouge Flambe, and Moresque. As a result, all of these types are rare and extremely valuable. p. 239
In Color, this ware resembles a delicate tomato-red. It was made of the metallic substance selenium and a precise amount of cadmium sulfide. The manufacture of this glass was quite precarious due to the delicacy involved in both the melting process and heat treatment. The finished product has a soft, warm appearance.
The marketing of this product was quite late in the 1920's and perhaps a year into the 1930's. It is an exceedingly scarce item, little being made or sold due to the tumultuous period of introduction. P. 67 of a Guide to Colored Steuben Glass 1903 -1933 (Book I), by Eric E. Ericson.
Another of the little-seen type of Steuben Glass but remembered once seen for its striking rich red tomato color in a dense opaque body which Mr. Carder reported as extremely difficult to make and likely to be unstable structurally. The few pieces that are seen are almost without exception in important collections and therefore, like similar rarities, values can be an approximation of what a seller and buyer might agree upon. The scale of value would place it above Intarsia and below Diatreta. As a more specific valuation, it may be placed somewhere between the low and mid five figure prices. Art Glass Prices #3 by John F. Hotchkis 1967).
Rouge Flambe glass is one of the most strikingly explosive shades achieved in glass. In view of the exact control needed for the mix, as well as the proper heat of the fire, very little variation may occur before a piece falls short of its natural brilliance. These pieces must be recognized, as they were rarely signed, but using Steuben shapes as reference along with the outstanding red color, it is highly unlikely that one will overlook such a piece. Art Glass Nouveau by Ray and Lee Grove, p. 156.
This rare art glass type, consisting of fewer than one hundred examples, was produced by Frederick Carder about 1916-1917. Its color, ranging from tomato red to orange, and even coral pink, has a bright surface texture and was not acidized or iridized. Proved to be fragile, causing straining and cracking of the glass the addition of minute, metallic flecks of chrome oxide gave the ware a pearly finish. P. 40 of The Collector's Encyclopedia on American Art Glass by John A. Shuman III.
See, similar wise, also at p. 146 of American Art Nouveau Glass by Albert Christian Revi.
Color shown in a plate in a 1926 AD in House and Garden labeled {Steuben Glass hand wrought in the old tradition and bearing the label Steuben Glass Blown and modeled (id) at Steuben Furnaces, Corning, N.Y. The inscription reads Rouge flamme (id), the color of the small plate, is one of the rarest and most striking colors ever developed in glass.
On the record interview between Carder and Philpot. The Fieldstone Porch Presents Conversations with Carder on Steuben his American Art Glass Carder says, contrary to several books that say the Intarsia signature is engraved, that he signed the Intarsia pieces, estimated at 35 in number. In the book, For Real bob Rockwell The an and His Collection by Mary Elizabeth Wahlig at p. 119 the author says: As far as Bob can recall, Aurene is the only type he would sign with its name with one exception; Bob recalls, Carder did sign just one piece Rouge flambe, fred Carder.
Opaque and lined with flint white per Beth Shaut of Rockwells. Beth Shaut originally opined that this wasn't an authentic piece of Rouge Flambe because she never saw rouge flambe with reeding. She also opined that Frederick Carder never signed pieces with that form of signature on the side of a piece, except for Intarsia pieces. Subsequently, on around Feb. 26, 2002 she reported talking to Bobby Rockwell who Said it was Steuben and that the color and translucency on the edge was from being over cooked. She then goes on to apologize because she was wrong. In Glass Art Reflect the Future: Art and technical glass from the collection of The Paul Vickers Gardner Glass Center, Published at Alfred University 2002 p.3 it states: Carder never produced this fragile glass commercially; 25 large pieces known to exist may be viewed in the Frederick Carder Collection of the Corning Museum of Glass. The experimental pieces in the exhibit demonstrate the variance between translucency and opacity, depending on the degree of crystallization that occurred.
Jim Barlow examined additional pictures of the signature and concluded it was engraved. He states the signature is one of two things. The work of a Master engraver who isn't bothered by forging something or it is by the person who put on all the signatures on the pieces of Intarsia at Steuben. He concludes the signature looks awfully authenticate. See signature at p. 234 of Dimitroff, Fig. 10.83, Frederick Carder and Steuben Glass and also p. 135 of The Glass of Frederick Carder by Paul V. Gardner. Also p. 200 of Thomas P. Dimitroff's book in fig. 8.65 a Rouge Flambe piece is signed with the AFredk Carder on the bottom post-production. Perfect match on an Intarsia piece shown at

Part of the Carder Steuben collection of the Wichita Art Museum
Pictured p. 74 of Objects of Desire: The Art of Frederick Carder by Alan Shovers.
Seen in 1932 Steuben Catalog at p. 18. Color described as Green over Brown into Rose Cluthra” Retail $40.00.
“One piece in the writer’s collection has black dragons superimposed over blue jade and shows four different levels which indicate that three different resists were applied and a similar number of acid dips. Another is #7007 Boothby showing a design in Brown over Green over Rose Cluthra. A separate treatise needs to be written to do this portion of Carder’s work full justice.” Carder Steuben Glass Handbook and Price Guide by John F. Hotchkiss, p. 33.
See coloring in Turn of the Century Glass The Murray Collection of Glass at fig. 60.
Boothbay pattern in black over alabaster at fig. 6.25, p. 145, Frederick Carder and Steuben Glass by Dimitroff. Per discussion with west Coast dealer Sol Zwirn the Boothbay pattern is rare.
“The second most sought after Steuben item in colored crystal is the ware known by this name. Nineteenth Century European in origin, where undoubtedly Mr. Carder first saw some, it remained for his Steuben Glass Works to perfect it to a magnificent degree of creative effort.
“As with items in the Acid Cut Back category, Cluthra was not produced in any great quantity, though most certainly a much greater number were crafted than the former.
“Another similarity between Cluthra and the Acid Cutbacks is the size, usually quite large and similarly thick and heavy.”
“More often than not a Carder Cluthra will not be signed. If one is signed it will have the Steuben Fleur de Lis acid etched on the base in a random position. As one becomes familiar with signed Steuben, and in particular the Fleur d’Lis, it will be noted that the signature may occur at any portion of the base, from pontil to outer edge, with absolutely no position uniformity.”
“The manufacture of Cluthra was carried on at periodic intervals, approximately between 1915 to 1933.”
“The chemical additive burst into a gaseous mass of bubbles, which in the finished product resembles miniature fired eggs, ranging from 1/8 inch diameter to as large as one inch in diameter.” A Guide to Colored Steuben Glass 1903-1933(Vol I) by Eric E. Ericson, pp. 45-47.
“Now then, let us consider the specific example of Cluthra. Acid Cut Back. Experience, as well as knowledge, points to a solid conclusion that indeed this is a rare item. Figuratively speaking five are known.” P. 131 of Ericson’s Book Two.
See a somewhat similar Art Deco vase discussed by Louise Luther in her book, Miller’s Art Glass How to Compare Values. She notes that the raised, flared rim complements the oval, neo-classical form; the spiked border with graduated dots adds to the Art Deco style. The two-color Cluthra of bubbled and mottled glass, shading from yellow into pink-rose, makes this a rare and costly example. Dramatic and collectible, this god-ruby glass was acid-etched with Art Deco elements in the Steuben ‘Cliftwood’ pattern. Heavy and wide, the vase exhibits an elegant graphic impact. Bot its size and decoration increases its collectibility and its market value. The difficult technical processes increase its value. P. 79 The piece featured in the Luther book is 10 inches H, and 14" for the Boothbay piece.

STEUBEN CLUTHRA GREEN GLASS
STEUBEN CLUTHRA GREEN GLASS "HUNTING" PATTERN VASEDESCRIPTION: Steuben Cluthra green to rose to brown glass "Hunting" pattern vase. Cased acid-etched lead glass. Reference: Shape 7007, p.316 Paul V. Gardner. Shown in 1932 Steuben catalogue. Part of the Carder Steuben collection of the Wichita Art Museum Pictured p. 74 of Objects of Desire: The Art of Frederick Carder by Alan Shovers. Seen in 1932 Steuben Catalog at p. 18. Color described as Green over Brown into Rose Cluthra" Retail $40.00. "One piece in the writer's collection has black dragons superimposed over blue jade and shows four different levels which indicate that three different resists were applied and a similar number of acid dips. Another is #7007 Boothby showing a design in Brown over Green over Rose Cluthra. A separate treatise needs to be written to do this portion of Carder's work full justice." Carder Steuben Glass Handbook and Price Guide by John F. Hotchkiss, p. 33. See coloring in Turn of the Century Glass The Murray Collection of Glass at fig. 60. Boothbay pattern in black over alabaster at fig. 6.25, p. 145, Frederick Carder and Steuben Glass by Dimitroff. Per discussion with west Coast dealer Sol Zwirn the Boothbay pattern is rare. "The second most sought after Steuben item in colored crystal is the ware known by this name. Nineteenth Century European in origin, where undoubtedly Mr. Carder first saw some, it remained for his Steuben Glass Works to perfect it to a magnificent degree of creative effort. "As with items in the Acid Cut Back category, Cluthra was not produced in any great quantity, though most certainly a much greater number were crafted than the former. "Another similarity between Cluthra and the Acid Cutbacks is the size, usually quite large and similarly thick and heavy." "More often than not a Carder Cluthra will not be signed. If one is signed it will have the Steuben Fleur de Lis acid etched on the base in a random position. As one becomes familiar with signed Steuben, and in particular the Fleur d'Lis, it will be noted that the signature may occur at any portion of the base, from pontil to outer edge, with absolutely no position uniformity." "The manufacture of Cluthra was carried on at periodic intervals, approximately between 1915 to 1933." "The chemical additive burst into a gaseous mass of bubbles, which in the finished product resembles miniature fired eggs, ranging from 1/8 inch diameter to as large as one inch in diameter." A Guide to Colored Steuben Glass 1903-1933(Vol I) by Eric E. Ericson, pp. 45-47. "Now then, let us consider the specific example of Cluthra. Acid Cut Back. Experience, as well as knowledge, points to a solid conclusion that indeed this is a rare item. Figuratively speaking five are known." P. 131 of Ericson's Book Two. See a somewhat similar Art Deco vase discussed by Louise Luther in her book, Miller's Art Glass How to Compare Values. She notes that the raised, flared rim complements the oval, neo-classical form; the spiked border with graduated dots adds to the Art Deco style. The two-color Cluthra of bubbled and mottled glass, shading from yellow into pink-rose, makes this a rare and costly example. Dramatic and collectible, this god-ruby glass was acid-etched with Art Deco elements in the Steuben "Cliftwood" pattern. Heavy and wide, the vase exhibits an elegant graphic impact. Bot its size and decoration increases its collectibility and its market value. The difficult technical processes increase its value. P. 79 The piece featured in the Luther book is 10 inches H, and 14" for the Boothbay piece. CIRCA: 1920s-1932 ORIGIN: USA DIMENSIONS: D: 9.75" H: 13.25" Have a similar item to sell?

WILLIAM ARNOLD EYDEN SR, INDIANA
WILLIAM ARNOLD EYDEN SR, INDIANA (1859 - 1919), UNTITLED WOODLAND SCENE, OIL ON CANVAS, 17 1/2"H X 23 1/2"W, 24 1/4"H X 30 1/2"W (FRAME)William Arnold Eyden Sr, Indiana, (1859 - 1919) untitled woodland scene, oil on canvas Signed lower left. Biography from the Archives of askART: William Arnold Eyden Sr. was born in August 1859 in Hanover, Germany. Wilhelm Eyden arrived in New York on on 13 July 1868 with his mother Doris Eyden and siblings Helene, Johanna, and Johanne. Family tradition says that William's mother died on the voyage from Germany, but this is obviously incorrect. The 1880 census confirms that he was born in Hanover, Germany. He married Elvina Goodwin in 1880 in Wayne County, IN. She was born in January 1862 in Ohio a daughter of George and Luisa Goodwin. Their son Walter Earnest was born on 29 November 1881 in Richmond, Indiana. The Eydens were living in Richmond City, Wayne County, IN in 1880 with Elvina's parents where William was employed as a chair maker. William was employed as an artist in 1900 and 1910 in Richmond where the Eydens rented a home. Censuses show that the Eydens had six children, but only Walter Earnest, Florence, and William A. Jr. appear in census records. Eyden Sr. was an early and prominent member of the Richmond Group of artists and a founding member of the Artists Association of Richmond. He is mentioned in Mallett's Index of Artists where he is misidentified as "William T. Eyden". He is also mentioned in Davenport's Art Reference and Price Guide. William A. Eyden Sr. died 21 March 1919 in Richmond and is buried in the Earlham Cemetery, Richmond, IN. W. A. oil on canvas Dimensions: 17 1/2"H x 23 1/2"W, 24 1/4"H x 30 1/2"W (frame)
