Steuben was noted for their rigorous attention to detail and for the high quality of their glass. They stated in their literature that they did not market "seconds". In fact, they noted that such pieces were destroyed in house. Steuben Glass was founded by Frederick Carder in 1903 in the Fingerlakes Region of New York State. By following strict standards for design and manufacture they achieved recognition as the world's premier glassworks.

The famous glassworks closed in late 2011.  The Corning Museum is having reproductions of some designs made in Europe.  These are not hand signed and weigh much less than the originals.
