Steuben founded in America in 1903 was “a token of high end New York modernity from about 1930 to 1960” known for its high quality glass. It opened a store in the Steuben Corning building on Fifth Avenue and 56^th street in 1937. Steuben was at its best when producing unfussy, classically elegant objects as seen in these beautiful goblets.
