This is the announcement of the reintroduction of Steuben colorless piece production. Note specifically that this is a “new, lead-free crystal” not the original M10 formula. If you go to www.steuben.com you will see the other three pieces that are being re-introduced now including the “Frederick Carder inspired Handkerchief Vase.”

My Best Bargain

The best bargain that I have found so far is a Verre de Soie 1455 cologne with a blue jade stopper. I paid $8.00 for it about 30 years ago.
