Steuben was noted for their rigorous attention to detail and for the high quality of their glass. They stated in their literature that they did not market “seconds”. In fact, they noted that such pieces were destroyed in house. Steuben Glass was founded by Frederick Carder in 1903 and was located in the Fingerlakes Region of New York State. By following strict standards for design and manufacture they achieved recognition as the world’s premier glassworks. Steuben Glass was frequently the gift of state by US Presidents to foreign dignitaries. Steuben, a recognized luxury brand. Because of these factors, a well maintained/handmade Steuben collectible will increase in value over time. This is the original early made in USA design. It is not a re introduction or reproduction made offshore FOR Steuben of inferior glass. Since the glassworks was torn down in 2011 it is nearly impossible to find authentic gift worthy engraved pieces like this that are free of scratches or damage.
