Steuben Glass Works: Frederick Carder began carving glass, stone, modeling pottery & sculptural terra-cotta in England. He became enamored with glassmaking and was determined to get into the business of glassmaking, so after coming to America Carder founded Steuben Glass Works in the year 1903 perfecting and registering the name Aurene Glass. In 1918 Steuben Glass Works became the Steuben Division of Corning Glass Works, but continued to produce colored art glass until its last known sale in 1943.
