    Description

    We are delighted to offer this rare rare footed art glass vase from the Corning Glass Works Company in Corning, New York. This exquisitely sculpted, delicately balanced hand blown piece was made in 1942. It measures approximately 9” high x 5” diameter and is gently used with no observable chips, cracks, breaks or repairs. The base has an unpolished pontil and is signed CGW and dated 1942. This design is reminiscent of glass offered by the Steuben Glass Company, and there is a reason for that.
    Corning Glass Works was founded in 1851 by Amory Houghton, in Somerville, Massachusetts. originally as the Bay State Glass Co. It later moved to Brooklyn, New York, and operated as the Brooklyn Flint Glass Works. The company moved again to its ultimate home and namesake, the city of Corning, New York, in 1868 under leadership of the founder's son, Amory Houghton, Jr. Over 147 years later, Corning continues to maintain its world headquarters at Corning, N.Y.
    In 1918, Steuben was acquired by Corning Glass Works and became the Steuben Division. Frederick Carder, who was a gifted glass artist and founding member of Steuben Glass, joined Corning Glass as Division manager at without any real change in the company's operation, except that he now had reporting responsibilities to Corning Glass Works' management. It is believed that the glass artists of the Steuben division also produced a limited amount of product for Corning.
