Overview & History

Steuben Glass was founded in Corning, New York, in 1903. Its early decades under Frederick Carder produced celebrated colored and iridescent art glass - notably Aurene, Cluthra, and Verre de Soie - while from the 1930s the firm became known for pure, colorless lead crystal of exceptional clarity, often in sculptural designs. Value depends on the era and line: Carder-era colored glass is generally most collectible, while later crystal is valued for design, size, and condition.

Identifying & Marks

Look for the acid-etched 'Steuben' fleur-de-lis mark or an engraved script signature; Aurene pieces are often signed and numbered. Era and line identification drive valuation.
