A type of decorative glass with an iridescent golden or amber surface, produced primarily in early 20th-century America.
Likely coined from 'aureus' (golden) plus the suffix '-ene' (used in chemical and material names). Aurene was a brand name for art glass developed by Frederick Carder.
Steuben Glass's 'Aurene' glassware was so prized that wealthy collectors still seek it today—it catches light like liquid gold, and each piece is uniquely iridescent!
