Each glass bears the acid etched Steuben hallmark at the bottom center of the foot.

Lot 444		Steuben Glass Goblets. Steuben Glass Works was founded in 1903 by T.G Hawkes and Frederick Carder at Corning, New York, and although it was purchased by the Corning Glass Works in 1918, it continued under Carder's direction until 1933. Known for its iridescent glassware and overlapping colored inlays, in the 1930s the firm began making glassware from a new colorless lead crystal developed by Corning. Steuben has since come to be best known for its cut, engraved, and free-blown designs fashioned from this type of crystal glass. Today, Steuben crystal ware is simply iconic - emblematic of the modernist aesthetic from which it was born. In the words of Lawrence Jeffrey, "Steuben is authentic American chic. Perfect in any décor and exceptional in a Mid-Century setting." Set of six baluster stem glasses designed by George Thompson ca. 1940-1949 (pattern 7877), H. 6-1/2", D. 3-1/2". This stylish design is perhaps the most coveted of all modernist glasses. Certainly intended as water glasses, their luxurious weight and prodigious dimensions recommend their use today as wine goblets. The scripted Steuben hallmark is acid etched at the bottom center of the foot of each. In excellent condition, the set is complete with original protective felt sacks and Bullocks Los Angeles box. Estimated Value $500 - 800 View details and enlarged photo	Realized $600
Lot 445		Steuben Glass Highball and Champagne Glasses. This tasteful lot includes two sets of clear lead crystal glasses.

The second set is six baluster stem champagne classes designed by George Thompson ca. 1940-1949 (pattern 7877), H. 3¾", D, 4". These likewise bear the Steuben hallmark acid etched at the bottom center of each foot. Though clearly made for toasting and sipping bubbly, their ample proportions might make them equally appropriate for serving sinfully delectable desserts. Both sets are in excellent condition, and come with their individual protective felt sacks and original Bullocks Los Angeles boxes.
