Large antique American iridescent art glass vase, attributed to Steuben Glass Works and the Frederick Carder era, with spectacular multicolor Aurene-type iridescence.
This impressive vase measures approximately 12½ inches high × 11 inches in diameter and has a beautifully proportioned rounded body with broad shoulders, short constricted neck and thick rolled/flared rim. The iridescent surface changes dramatically with the light, displaying shades of gold, green, blue, violet, magenta and bronze.
The form and unusually large dimensions are particularly interesting. A documented Carder Steuben Blue Aurene vase, Steuben shape No. 2683, is recorded by the Corning Museum of Glass at approximately 12½ inches high and 11⅞ inches maximum diameter, with a broad-shouldered body, short neck and thick flared rim. The similarity in scale and form is noteworthy.
The vase is unmarked, and because no Steuben signature or factory number has been located, it is being offered as attributed to Steuben rather than definitively identified as Steuben.
Estate fresh condition with expected light surface wear and scratches to the iridescent finish from age and handling. No major chips or cracks noted. The outdoor photographs were taken to show the remarkable iridescence; some reflections visible in the photographs are from the surrounding environment.
