I have set a very fair price for an outstanding hand made vintage but new in box Steuben design. Steuben Glass was founded by Frederick Carder in 1903. It was the world’s foremost artisan glass house. Steuben was hand made by American craftsmen at the works in Corning NY. Because it was hand made, each piece is unique. Steuben glass was frequently the United States’ gift of State to foreign dignitaries. Steuben marketed no seconds. Items that did not meet their exacting production standards were destroyed by being smashed in a bin. Steuben–a recognized luxury brand. Thank you for your interest in this special Steuben piece. Also, please check out my other. At LEGENDARY Steuben Glass. Thank you again for your interest in this Steuben design, it is shown in the 2003 edition of the MJ Madigan Steuben reference book. This new in box item is scratch free and was made by hand in the USA of original formula water pure Steuben Crystal unlike some of their more recent shell designs that were outsourced to Portugal to cut costs–such as the Nautilus Shell, Nautilus Bowl which were machine pressed of a lower quality glass overseas. Since Steuben closed in late 2011 it has become almost impossible to find scratch free gift worthy examples of this wonderful special original formula optically pure art glass.
