"Artistic Designer and Co-founder of Steuben Glass Works" with Thomas G. Hawkes

Frederick Carder worked for Stevens & Williams. This is where he developed his Mat-su-no-ke glass (clear or frosted glass in high relief outside the vessel). During his tenure here he worked with Peter Carl Fabergé. After about 20 years of designing and glass making for Stevens & Williams there were disagreements and Frederick Carder emigrated to the United States. Mr. Carder ended up in Corning, New York where he teamed up with Thomas Gibbons Hawkes, another well known glass designer. The two of them founded Steuben Glass Works. In 1913, Frederick Carder and the Steuben Glass Works were sued by Louis Tiffany for alleged infringements by Carder's "Aurene" glass against Tiffany's "Favrile" glass. This case was settled out of court. Corning Glass Works purchased Steuben Glass Works in 1918, but they remained a separate entity under the management of Frederick Carder. In 1933 Carder oversaw the introduction of 10M glass which is now called Steuben Crystal. Steuben Crystal is a brilliant glass of near-perfect clarity. Carder retired in 1970 but continued to work until he was 96. In 2008 Corning sold Steuben Glass which is now privately owned. (Bio by: Dave Lehman)
