    I have set a very fair price for an outstanding large hand made in USA  mouth blown Steuben design. (Recent prices of similar large sized original 10M formula Steuben figurines were in the 00+ range.)
    Steuben Glass was founded by Frederick Carder in 1903. It was the world's foremost artisan glass house. Steuben was hand made by American craftsmen at the works in Corning NY.  Because it was hand made, each piece is unique.  Steuben glass was frequently the United States’ gift of State to foreign dignitaries. Steuben marketed no “seconds.”  Items that did not meet their exacting production standards were destroyed by being smashed in a bin. Steuben--a recognized luxury brand.
