A beautiful gift for someone you cherish or for your own collection.
A heavy fire polished cut and angled column topped with a shingled like textured crystal roof is surmounted with an exquisitely detailed 18K marked gold flying stallion weathervane.  The Steuben Glass magnifies and refracts the light into a rainbow pattern. This is an early creation of the famed Steuben designer, writer and outdoorsman, the late James Houston--renown for such works as Excalibur, Arctic Fisherman, Arctic Ice Bear, Eagle on Globe, Trumpeting Elephant and many others.

no chips, no nicks, no scratches or signs
of use to the glass, no damage to the highly detailed 18k gold horse weathervane and no display wear on the bottom
.  The crystal is fully signed "steuben" on the bottom in script. The 18k Gold is marked "18k" and "S"  (very tiny and hard to see) on the top of one of the direction letters.

Steuben Glass was founded by Frederick Carder in 1903. Recognized as the world's foremost artisan glass house, Steuben glass was hand made by American craftsmen at the works in Corning NY.  Steuben glass was frequently the United States’ gift of State to foreign dignitaries. Steuben marketed no “seconds”. Items that did not meet their exacting production standards were destroyed by being smashed in a bin. Steuben, a recognized luxury brand and the ultimate in art glass.
