Steuben, imperfection-free


Steuben Glass was founded in New York where the company has maintained its unique tradition of working by hand since 1903. Skilled artisans design each piece with a special method for melting the glass to achieve the perfect execution of the final piece. Pieces are cut, polished and engraved by hand where after each item is minutely inspected before it is signed with a diamond-tipped pen. If there are any imperfect pieces that have a scratch, it is destroyed. The brand simply won't accept imperfections in their art of glass-making.
