    @JimD/newton Have a great time!!!
    One of the reasons people don't buy Steuben is because of it being colorless, I think. After Frederick Carder, no coloured glass was produced until this past year. Steuben came out with the Luminescense glass line and not sure if it held it's expectations with bringing back color. The earlier pieces are going to be the most collectible if not now, but in years to come. I hope as collectors gain interest with Frederick Carder's art glass from Steuben, it will open the door to find pieces from British glass maker, Stevens and Williams. Mr. Carder was an art designer at S&W. Some of the same designs and techniques from S&W did carry over to Steuben. If people are not buying, then now would be the time to by for a future investment. Steuben is a part of our american glass history and will always be considered one of the elite glass makers of it's time.
