Estate Sale - I am selling 9 glasses one at a time. Glasses are in original felt bags. No chips. Excellent condition. A historic, beautiful and artistic American collectible.Steuben Glass Works was an American art glass manufacturer, founded in the summer of 1903 by Frederick Carder 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 wanted to start a factory himself and he convinced Carder to come to Corning and manage such a factory.In 1918, Steuben was acquired by Corning Glass Works and became the Steuben Division. [1]In July 2008, Steuben was sold by Corning Inc for an undisclosed price to Schottenstein Stores .On September 15, 2011, Schottenstein shut down Steuben's Corning factory and Manhattan store, ending the company's 108-year history. [3]In early 2014, The Corning Museum of Glass announced the re-introduction of Steuben in a new, lead-free formula. [4] A limited assortment of iconic designs will be available at the Museum Store and online.
