About this Item

This 1964 Steuben Glass Spring catalog, issued by the Corning Glass Center, presents an elegant showcase of mid-century Steuben design, photographed in the iconic high-contrast style associated with the firm's promotional materials. The catalog features a range of decorative and functional pieces including bowls, animals, engraved crystal, and sculptural forms all highlighting the precision and artistry for which Steuben was renowned. Each item is illustrated with full-page plates accompanied by identifying numbers, dimensions, and original 1964 retail prices, offering both historical context and documentation valuable to collectors. The interior remains clean and well-preserved, with only mild age toning along the margins and a small corner crease on the rear page. Plates are sharp, unmarked, and free of foxing. The binding is secure, with no loose pages. The catalog's textual introduction emphasizes Steuben's philosophy of functional beauty and the artistry of its designers and engravers, providing a thoughtful historical snapshot of the company in the early 1960s. The textured card covers show moderate rubbing, scattered faint soiling, and a small penciled notation at the top-left corner of the front panel, consistent with Very Good condition for a vintage trade catalog. Spine fold shows light handling wear but remains intact. Overall, this is a well-preserved example.
