Rare Steuben / Corning Glass Works Diamond Prism – Signed S. Teychenne – Master Engraved Optical Crystal
Offered is a beautiful and highly collectible Steuben/Corning glass diamond prism featuring an intricately hand-engraved emblem and the signature “S. Teychenne,” attributed to master glass engraver Stefano Teychenne.
Steuben Glass is renowned for its exceptional American art glass and luxury crystal. Steuben Glass Works became part of Corning Glass Works in 1918 and operated as Corning’s prestigious art-glass division for decades. Master engravers such as Stefano Teychenne were known for their highly skilled copper-wheel engraving on Steuben’s exceptional optical crystal.
This impressive prism is believed to be associated with Corning Glass Works’ Danville, Pennsylvania facility, which opened in 1958 and became an important Corning manufacturing location. Pieces such as this were used as prestigious corporate recognition and commemorative pieces, making this an especially interesting item for collectors of Steuben, Corning, American art glass, and corporate history.
