Steuben may have gone out of business in 2011, but it will remain forever in America's heart. Glasses, bowls and figurines by Steuben have been the wedding present of choice for decades and, as time goes by, all these wonderful creations become harder and harder to find and replace. Here is a modern charming hands-cooler by Lloyd Atkins (model 5520 introduced in 1983) representing a sleepy cat all curled up and looking soooo happy and careless. There are practically no angles but everything is there, the ears, the small nose and the wonderfully curled and relaxed back. I want to be that cat. Contrary to Taf Lebel Schaefer who designed other Steuben hand warmers, Lloyd Atkins was not a new Steuben discovery, having long worked for them over different periods. However, he embraced the glassmaker's "new direction" with unbridled enthusiasm and called it refreshing. This model is timeless. The dimensions are 2.5" by 2" The signature "Steuben" is etched under the base (photo 6). The condition is excellent.
