This exquisite Steuben vase is a masterful example of mid-20th century American studio glass, dating to circa 1959. Hand-blown and expertly applied, the vase is crafted in a sculptural flower form, showcasing Steuben’s renowned precision and dedication to purity of design.

Its substantial weight conveys both quality and presence, while the expertly finished surface reflects the meticulous craftsmanship characteristic of Steuben in this period. The base is engraved Steuben, confirming the piece’s authenticity and provenance. Measuring approximately 11 3/4 inches in height with a 6-inch diameter, this vase is in good condition, with minor wear consistent with age and use. It represents a refined and collectible example of mid-20th century modern American glass, suitable for both display and functional use. This piece embodies Steuben’s philosophy of combining sculptural form with timeless elegance, making it a desirable addition for collectors of modernist American glass.
