In the 18th and 19th centuries, young ladies attending dances employed porcelain, marble, and glass eggs to cool hands, heated by the excitement of the evening. How fitting that Steuben has re-created these lovely hand-coolers through the years of the 20th Century. Steuben has long been treasured as one of the world's great crystal manufacturer. Flawless by design, Steuben is the epitome of the expression “crystal clear”. All its creations are exquisitely sculpted, delicately balanced. This is an example of Steuben excellence even in one of their smallest items. Steuben glass was made at the Steuben Glass Works of Corning, New York. The factory, founded by Frederick Carder and T.G. Hawkes, Sr., was purchased by the Corning Glass Company, which continued to make glass called Steuben until 2011 when the factory closed.
