Pair of signed Steuben

Tear Drop

Candlesticks

The teardrop, said to define us as humans, that we can show emotion and cry for joy--is forever preserved in these mezmerizing crystal forms. Consider this stunning pair of signed Steuben Tear Drop Candlesticks , these would be a wonderful addition to your dining table or sideboard and become part of your cherished family traditions.

This gorgeous pair is in superb mint condition with no chips, cracks, scuffs and on the closest inspection, no scratches. The winning bidder will be thrilled with these works of glassmaking artistry.

Each handmade candlestick measures 4 1/2" tall, weighs almost 2lbs and is signed "Steuben". These are a 1949 mid century modern design by David Hills (famous also for the iconic Teardrop Bud Vase that everyone's mother from the 1950's simply had to have!)

Each candlestick comes wrapped in a grey flannel steuben bag, all in excellent condition free of wear, stains or odors.

This pair of candlsticks is listed with a fair starting bid for items of outstanding design in showroom condition and no reserve ! In 2006 this Steuben candlestick pair retailed for $1400 (before taxes), recently/sadly this classic design icon was retired.

Steuben Glass is the premier American glass company founded by Frederick Carder in 1903. It ranks with Baccarat, Lalique, Daum, St. Louis, Tiffany etc. as one of the worlds foremost artisan glass houses. Steuben glass continues to be handmade by American craftsmen at the works in Corning NY. Steuben glass is frequently the United States' gift of State to foreign dignitaries. Steuben markets no "seconds". Items that do not meet their exacting standards are destroyed by being smashed in a bin. Steuben is a luxury brand and they have no "sales".
