Steuben Glass Works

Common card · No. 413052

Steuben Glass Works was an American art glass manufacturer, founded in 1903 by Frederick Carder and Thomas G. Hawkes in Corning, New York. Under Carder’s direction (1903–1932), Steuben produced a wide variety of colored and iridescent art glass, including its distinctive Aurene glass. Beginning in 1933, under the leadership of Arthur A. Houghton Jr., the company shifted to producing clear crystal glassware, including designs created in collaboration with prominent artists. Steuben became part of Corning Glass Works in 1918 and was sold to Schottenstein Stores in 2008. The company ceased production in 2011 because of falling demand for luxury crystal glassware. In 2013, the Steuben brand resumed limited production through an arrangement with the Corning Museum of Glass to manufacture and sell its glassware.
