    I have set a very fair price for outstanding hand made vintage but
    new in box
    Steuben designs.  I also have  Steuben large Octopus, Crab and Giant Starfish designs, if interested contact me via messages.
    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 set. I have a reputation for selling authentic art glass of the highest quality, 99% of my feedback is based on sales of Steuben.

    Thank you again for your interest in these Steuben designs, they are shown in the 2003 edition of the MJ Madigan Steuben reference book.  These
    new in box
    items are
    scratch free and were 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 which was 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 10M formula optically pure
    art glass. Later shell designs, such as the Nautilus shell and Nautilus Bowl were outsourced to Europe and not made of the special patented highly refractive Steuben formula that was only used in the USA made pieces.  The outsourced designs were not hand signed.
