For Sale I have an extremely large Art Glass Vase made by The Steuben Glass Company of Corning, New York. This is from my personal collection. The Vase is done in Frederick Carder's Most Highly Collected Gold Aurene Glass. I call this a XXX LG Magnum Vase because of its size. The correct classification would be considered a "Tapered Shoulder Vase". The Vase is rather Large as it Stands 10 3/8" Tall and has a Whopping Diameter of 10" at the Shoulder. The top inside opening has a diameter of 3 3/4" and an outside one of 5 1/4". The bottom or foot of the vase is 4 7/8" in diameter. The Circumference of the Vase at the shoulder is an amazing 31 5/8" around. The Gold Iridescence or luster is just unbelievable!! My camera cannot pick up the brightness of the gold as the light reflects so strongly off of it. You can see beautiful hues of Fuchsias and Blues within the Iridescence. The Blue Platinum iridescence at the bottom of the Vessel is simply Outstanding!! In the neck of the Vessel is some of the finest tones if Fuchsia I have ever seen on a Steuben piece of Art Glass. The Gold Aurene Luster on this vase is more brilliant than any LCT Tiffany Favrile Gold I have ever owned. The vase looks like it was made Pure Gold a metal, yet it is so fragile as it is really glass. This is a large piece of Art Glass and was considered to be extremely difficult to blow and keeps its shape simply because of its size. The Vase is considered to be in excellent to Mint condition as there is very minor issues to report. There are only a few minor scratches in the iridescence. I have pictured 1 area on the Vase where it appeared to Rub against something and shows some Iridescence wear. The is also a another area I have pictures a few horizontal lines or scratches with minor iridescence loss. There is some imperfections in the Iridescence but this is typical of hand made class. There are also a few pin size iridescence loss. My camera makes these look much larger than they really are as I have 10X zoom capabilities. Overall this Huge piece of Art Glass in really in outstanding condition for it size and age. The Vase does have a counter sunk Polished Pontil, the sign of Quality Art Glass. The piece is signed "Steuben Aurene 2683" in their etched mark on the Glass. You can tell always tell Steuben's Gold from Tiffany's gold as Steuben's texture of the glass is very smooth like a baby's butt and the Tiffany Gold has a rougher texture. Purchase with confidence as quality Art Glass especially of this size is becoming almost impossible to find in excellent condition. Steuben's Aurene was registered in 1904, and ceased production in 1932. This is a very nice example of Steuben's Gold Aurene in both form and Iridescence. This vase is guaranteed to be made by Steuben Glass or a full refund including shipping both ways. You Steuben and Tiffany Collectors of Art Glass, don't let this one slip by!!!! I believe this piece to have been made circa 1910-1915. This was one of the hardest Vases for me to take pictures of. The Gold was so Brilliant that it reflected back into the Camera. This Vase in person is much, much better than I could capture with my camera!!
