End of an era - Steuben Glass closes its doors after 108 years

Yes, it's true. Steuben Glass Company, an American icon of hand-crafted crystal for more than a century, shut down it's lone factory in Corning, New York.

Thus ends a high-end glass making tradition dating back to 1903. Since 1903, Steuben glass has been fashioned into everything from fruit bowls and animal figurines to one-of-a-kind sculptures which became official gifts of American presidents from Harry Truman to Bill Clinton. Some of Steuben's art objects can cost tens of thousands of dollars.
