On September 15, 2011, Schottenstein announced it was shutting down Steuben\'s Corning factory and Manhattan store, ending the company\'s 108-year history of making world-class crystal.

Here is an interesting video on you tube with information on the Steuben Glass company and its closing. Following the YouTube\'s link I have included some great history I found while researching Steuben\'s start up. Its always nice to have this information kept with heirloom quality pieces such as these.

Frederick Carder Founded Steuben in Corning New York in 1903. He was an English glassmaker who designed colored glass in the Art Noveau style. Later Corning Incorporated acquired the company in 1918. When Arthur Houghton, Jr. became president of Steuben, he reorganized the company dedicating it to producing clear, colorless, highly reflective crystal that was developed by Corning researchers. Some of the most prestigious museums in the world have Steuben in their permanent collections. Since the president and Mrs. Harry Truman sent Steuben as a wedding Gift to HRH Princess Elizabeth of Great Britain in 1947, Steuben has been used as a gift of state by every U.S. president.

Steuben Glass Works was an American Art Glass manufacturer, founded in the summer of 1903 by Frederick Carer and Thomas G. Hawkes in Corning, NY which is in Steuben County, from which the company name was derived. Hawkes was the owner of the largest cut glass firm then operating in Corning. Carder was an Englishman (born 18 September 1863) who had many years\' experience designing glass for Stevens and Williams in England. Hawkes purchased the glass blanks for his cutting shop from many sources and eventually wanted to start a factory to make the blanks himself. Hawkes convinced Carder to come to Corning and manage such a factory. Carder, who had been passed over for promotion at Stevens and Williams, consented to do so.

In July 2008, Steuben was sold by Corning Incorporated for an undisclosed price to the Schottenstein Stores Corp. which also owns 51% of Retail Ventures, a holding company for DSW, Filene\'s Basement, and formerly Value City Department Stores; Value City Furniture, which changed its name to American Signature Furniture; 15% of American Eagle Outfitters, retail liquidator SB Capital Group, some 50 shopping centers, and 5 factories producing its shoes, furniture and crystal.

Thanks for looking!

Please email me with any questions.

If by slim chance that you do receive an item that has been damaged in shipping please contact me immediately with pictures of the damaged item as well as pictures of the label and packing material. I will need this to file a claim. I only use Federal Express and USPS and they will usually process a claim within a week. I will file the claim so that they refund you directly. These two shippers are very good about insurance claims and the process is very efficient which is why I only ship with them. I have only had 4 items arrive damaged out of 500 plus fragile glass items that I have sent out. One with Federal Express and 2 with USPS and as I said they have a very efficient and professional insurance claims process. The other 1 that arrived damaged was with a shipping company I will not use anymore and I will not name names, but it was a nightmare getting them to honor the items value that I paid extra to insure.

Please remember to scroll down to the end of the listing, as there are times I receive questions and they will be answered there. Or there may be a offer on the item, so I have added an addendum to the description for something that I may have forgotten.

Please keep in mind that I\'m not selling new items. They usually are antique or vintage, can be a hundred or more years old and have been gently used. Edge wear on gold and silver is to be considered as normal and the usual. Also, please remember that old glass and porcelain were not manufactured with the sophisticated technology that we have today, therefore there may be glaze pops, black pin dots, and minor factory flaws, and will be pointed out either in photo or print. Approximate sizes are always included in the description. Please examine the photos carefully; as they are to be considered part of the description, and read the description and ask all questions before offerding.
Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer\'s responsibility. Please check with your country\'s customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to offerding/buying.
