Steuben Bubble Glass Art Vase. Steuben bubble glass vase, characterized by its bell or flared-tulip form and the distinctive presence of numerous small trapped air bubbles (known as "seed bubbles") distributed throughout the glass. The form features a wide, gently flared rim that tapers down to a smoothly rounded bowl resting upon a small, applied circular foot. The trapped bubbles are an intentional feature often associated with certain Steuben designs, particularly those with a more rustic or artisanal aesthetic, adding textural interest to the clear, translucent material.

Size: 11 x 11 x 7 3/4 in. 

Steuben Glass, founded in Corning, New York, in 1903 by Frederick Carder and Thomas G. Hawkes, is renowned for its exquisite, hand-crafted glass art that combines clarity, elegance, and technical mastery. Initially celebrated for its colorless crystal, Steuben expanded to include vibrant colored glass and sculptural forms, employing techniques such as acid-etching, wheel-cutting, and flame-working to achieve intricate textures and luminous effects. The company became synonymous with luxury decorative art, producing everything from elegant vases and bowls to sculptural figures and paperweights, often commissioned for high-profile gifts and museum collections. Valued both for its artistic innovation and collectible appeal, Steuben Glass represents a century-long American tradition of combining artistry with impeccable craftsmanship.
