Steuben Glass was the premier American glass company founded by Frederick Carder in 1903. It ranked as the world's foremost artisan glass house. Steuben glass, handmade by American craftsmen at the works in Corning NY, 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 luxury brand and the ultimate in art glass.  Since the glassworks closing in 2011 during the recent recession, it has been increasingly difficult to find collector worthy examples like this piece.  This is a design that will hold or increase in value if it is handled with care and properly maintained.
