Authentic Signed

Globe LUMINOR
Frederick Carder design 1928
Let there be LIGHT!!
Consider this rare
authentic
original early 1920's
signed
Steuben
Globe Luminor.  It will cast a sparkly glowing light on your entry foyer console, the library table or your guest bath.  A very special design from the
Art Deco
era by the renaissance master glass artist and Steuben founder, Frederick Carder--it excels in all settings.
A heavy 5 pound globe is formed using the
controlled
bubble technique, which leaves
uniformly
spaced bubbles in the glass.  Into this 2300 degree F hot glass globe
five large teardrops are mouth blown
representing a fire's flames.  This large globe (about 5 inches in diameter) rests in a
square
heavy black glass lamp base, as shown in the Gardner* reference book.  A candelabra bulb and fitting is in the base housing and the lamp's switch is in the wiring cord.  This is a working lamp, but since it is very old it should be checked over by a lighting/electrical specialist in order to insure it meets up to date safety codes and for your own well being.
This authentic Steuben Globe Luminor is in superb vintage condition.  There are no chips or other damage to the black glass square base, the original lamp
parts are all there and it appears to have been rewired for safety.  The crystal globe is in excellent condition with only two tiny eight of an inch chips at the bottom lip edge which is fitted into and hidden by the base.  The globe is
marked with the
Steuben "fleur de lys" mark
on the base bottom, which I could not get a decent photo of.  Includes FREE INSURED shipping.  This will be a wonderful addition for the Steuben collector.
Steuben Glass was founded by Frederick Carder in 1903.  It was the world's foremost artisan glass house.  Steuben glass was hand made by American craftsmen at the works in Corning NY.  Because it was hand made, each piece is unique.  Steuben glass was frequently the United States’ gift of State to foreign dignitaries.  Steuben marketed no “seconds”.  Items that did not meet their exacting production standards were
destroyed by being smashed in a bin.

*This Steuben Globe Luminor is design number 6821.  It is shown on page 69 in the 1971 edition of
The Glass of Frederick Carder
by Paul V. Gardner.  Steuben only made two bubbled luminor shapes, both mounted in
square
black glass bases. This is the authentic original
Steuben Glass Luminor
, many copied this famous lamp design so there are various sizes of bubbled glass globes in various designed bases out there by other manufacturers.  There are usually copies of this famous Steuben Luminor
on eBay most of the time misusing the brand name, with the wrong base, the wrong size globe, with random bubbles and missing the difficult to do flames in the controlled bubbled glass, etc. and worth much less.
