Steuben Glass Decorative Objects
American
Steuben Glass Works is the most illustrious name in American art glass. Its vividly colored Art Nouveau and Asian-style wares produced in the early 20th century as well as later modernist works rendered in flawlessly clear crystal are objects of striking beauty and delicacy.
The Steuben Glass Works was cofounded in 1903 in the town of Corning, New York, by Frederick Carder, an alum of celebrated British glassmaker Stevens & Williams and a self-taught English chemist and glassmaker. Carder was a restless experimenter, constantly creating new color formulas that resulted in a wide array of hues, from milky jades to his iridescent Aurene shades. A favorite Carder technique was to acid-etch decorative patterns into pieces made of glass layered in different colors. The forms of his vessels were relatively conservative. Most are based on classic Chinese pottery; many display the flowing, naturalistic lines of the Art Nouveau period.
The larger local firm Corning Glass acquired Steuben in 1918. The company’s approach to art glass changed radically in the early 1930s, when Corning chemists devised a new type of crystal known as 10M, with perfect clarity and brilliant refractive powers. Corning decided that, henceforth, all Steuben decorative objects, vases, sculptures and other wares would be made from the crystal.
Art glass was made in two formats: molded and polished abstract sculptures and figurines, or pieces for which artists used Steuben crystal as a sort of canvas. The first such artwork was sculptor Stanley Waugh’s 1935 Gazelle Bowl, a vessel etched with brawny Art Deco animal forms. In later years, Steuben would invite artists that included Henri Matisse, Georgia O’Keeffe and Isamu Noguchi to “paint” in the firm’s crystal.
Steuben glass comes in myriad forms and is available in a broad range of price points. Jewel-toned glasses and tableware from the Carder era include candlesticks marked at $300 and full dinner services for more than $10,000. Small crystal figurines bring around $1,000, while larger sculptures are priced in the neighborhood of $7,000.
Steuben glass, with its impeccable artistry and timeless grace, deserves a place in any collection.

Peter Aldridge for Steuben "Arcus" Sculpture
By Steuben Glass, Peter Aldridge
Located in Cincinnati, OH
This Steuben sculpture, titled Arcus, was designed in 1977 by British sculptor and designer Peter Aldridge (b.1947). Aldridge was graduated with distinction from London's Royal College of Art and worked as artist-in-residence at Steuben in 1977. A recipient of Fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts and the New York Foundation for the Arts, Aldridge went on to be appointed Steuben's Vice President and Creative Director. Aldridge began working as CEO of Scotland's prestigious North Lands Creative Glass center in 2007 before returning to New York in 2010, and currently serves on Steuben's Board of Trustees. His works are held in the permanent collections of London's Victoria & Albert Museum and the Corning Museum of Glass among other notable museums, and are also in private collections throughout the world.
This striking geometric Aldridge sculpture has been given design number 0217 and is made from cast, cut and polished lead glass. The angular piece has a multifaceted construction consisting of a series of triangles, squares and rectangles which have been expertly cut and polished.
The piece was included as one of a select number of nonjuried designs in the 1984 exhibition "50 Years on 5th - A Retrospective Exhibition of Steuben Glass." It is also worthy of note that an engraved version of this crystal sculpture titled "Peace Crystal" was given to late President Anwar El Sadat and late Prime Minister Menachem Begin...

Questions About Steuben Glass Decorative Objects
- 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 23, 2024To identify Steuben glass, look on the bottom or interior for a maker's marking. Nearly all pieces produced by the manufacturer display an acid-engraved marking. On glassware produced before 1932, this marking usually consists of a fleur-de-lis and the word "Steuben." After 1932, the maker used many other hallmarks, which you can find images of on trusted online resources. Comparing the marking on your glassware to these images can help you determine if Steuben produced it and approximately when it was made. A certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer can also help you identify the items. Shop a variety of Steuben glass on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 20, 2024To tell if glass is Steuben, look for the maker's mark. Many pieces feature a fleur-de-lis logo as well as the Steuben name written in capital block letters. However, Steuben markings did evolve over the years, so it's a good idea to compare the mark on your piece to images of logos and wordmarks shown on trusted online resources. If you need help with identification, use the services of a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer. Find a variety of Steuben glass on 1stDibs.
- Is Steuben glass crystal?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022It depends. Since 1903, Steuben has been famous for both its glassware and crystal. Crystal is a kind of glass with additives that make it strong and able to be used in elegantly thin designs. Crystal also refracts light, creating a striking look. Steuben is known for its exceptionally beautiful crystal formula. Shop a range of Steuben glass and crystal pieces on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022Yes, most Steuben glass is roughly 30 percent lead. Transparent colorless glassware produced by the brand is usually free of stones, seeds and cords, giving it a true crystal-clear quality. You can find a collection of Steuben glass on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Most Steuben glass was marked in some way before leaving the factory. The most common mark is a fleur-de-lis with “STEUBEN” written in block letters. Other pieces may simply have the letter “S”. Find an authenticated collection of Steuben fine glass and crystal items on 1stDibs.
- Is Steuben glass always marked?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Yes, most Steuben glass was marked before it left the factory. Unfortunately, there was not a lot of standardization of the marks so one needs to know several different diamond script maker’s marks to verify if the glass is a real Steuben. Shop a collection of authentic Steuben glass from some of the world’s top boutiques on 1stDibs.
