Steuben Art Glass

About Steuben Art Glass

Founded in 1903 as a partnership between a glass engraver and an Art Nouveau colored glass specialist, Steuben Glass Works immediately became popular. In 1932 the company developed a glass formula so clear that ultraviolet light could pass through it, and in the late 1960's the company began producing one-of-a-kind, high-end pieces. Today, Steuben employs studio designers to make custom products.

About Art Glass

Starting in the mid 1800s, glass blowers began to experiment with different colors, patterns, and textures, resulting in signature styles from different craftsmen and regions in all shapes, sizes, and forms. Some of the patterns created by early innovators like Rene Lalique and Louis Comfort Tiffany are still being used today.
