Carder and Steuben as photographed, c1920. Measures - 9.5''h x 4.5''diam. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Frederick Carder was born on September 18, 1863, in Brockmoor, Kingswinford, Staffordshire (now part of the English county of West Midlands), the son of Caleb and Annie Carder. His father and grandfather owned Leys Pottery, and by the age of 14, Frederick Carder had left school in order to start working in the family business. However, following the death of his grandfather in 1878, Carder decided that his position at the pottery was untenable, and through the influence of John Northwood I (1836–1902), he decided to enter the glassmaking business. By 1881, Carder was a draftsman and designer at the Stourbridge firm of Stevens & Williams. This article focuses exclusively on what Carder produced for Stevens & Williams before he and his family relocated to Corning, New York, in 1903.The glass scholar and art historian Charles Hajdamach has accurately stated that, in terms of Carder’s reputation and legacy, he is (and was) somewhat revered in the United States, while he is regarded in his native England as something of a deserter. This is very unfortunate in light of his enormous contribution to the output of Stevens & Williams. The solid foundation he established there in all of the techniques and processes involved in the successful production of glass led to the founding and sustainable success of the Steuben Glass Works in Corning.
