Q. Can you help me identify a Steuben (signed) bowl?

Thank you for contacting us with your question.  A useful tool for identifying your Steuben pieces by date, designer, and stock number is Mary Jean Madigan's comprehensive collector's guide, Steuben Glass: An American Tradition in Crystal (revised and enlarged edition: Harry N. Abrams, 2003). This book is illustrated with more than 2800 photographs and line drawings. It includes a catalogue raisonee of virtually every design produced by Steuben from 1933 to 2001, providing illustrations, dates of introduction, prices at introduction (when available), dimensions, stock numbers, and names of designers and engravers for each piece.
