Steuben Glass was the premier American glass company founded by Frederick Carder in 1903. It ranked as the world's foremost artisan glass house. Handmade by American craftsmen at the works in Corning NY, it was frequently the United States' gift of State to foreign dignitaries. Steuben marketed no "seconds," items that did not meet their exacting standards were destroyed by being smashed in a bin. Steuben, a recognized luxury brand and the ultimate in art glass.

Please email me if you have any questions. Other sellers frequently copy my written descriptions and photos but often have little experience with this art glass, packing fragiles or knowing how to critique glass. Something to consider.  Thank you and please see my other Steuben and art glass listed on Ebay this week at LEGENDARY SteubenGlass.
