FOREWORD
At mid-century, American culture finds a high expression
in the art of glass.
In an age of machine production, the makers of Steuben
foster the tradition of hand workmanship at the Coming
Glass Center, Corning, New York
In each piece of Steuben crystal is the essential element
of perfection - perfection of material, of craftsmanship
and of design.
"In all things where love and craftsmanship go hand in hand, expect a masterpiece."
