THE STEUBEN GIFT

Steuben glass is an out-of-the-ordinary gift. Since 193 5 examples have been ex­hibited in major museums in this country and abroad; for nearly thirty years United States presidents have selected pieces as gifts of state.

The designs shown here are available at the Steuben Glass shop on Fifth A venue and at the Corning Glass Center in Corn­ing, New York, where the crystal is made.

You may also order by mail or telephone. Illustrations of pieces not shown will be sent upon request; please specify type and price range. Gift certificates are avail­able at all times.

If the recipient of your gift prefers to ex­change it, he will receive assistance in making an alternate choice.

Special services are offered for selecting corporate gifts and commissioning one­of-a-kind designs. Inquiries will be an­swered promptly.

BALLOONING Crystal stele cut and engraved to represent the light-hearted spirit of ballooning.

The stele is composed of two back-to-back rectangular sections. Ha lf spheres-cut into the sections where they join-appear by re­flection as full, three-dimensional ba lloons; the lines and gondolas are engraved.

Since medieval times men have dreamed of soaring into the sky in lighter-than-air craft, but it was not until 1783, in France, that Joseph and Jacques Etienne Montgolfier con­structed the first successful hot-air balloon.

Shown here are stylized versions of later eighteenth- and nineteenth-century passen­ger models-designed during an age when ballooning was still a fanciful dream come true.

0202 Height with leather base, internally lighted, 12" $6,250 · Limited to an edition of thirty DESIGNED BY BERNARD X. WOLFF

WESTERN HORSES Semicircular disc of solid crystal-cut and engraved to depict a pair of mustangs grazing on the rugged plains of the American West.

The horses are engraved on the back of the disc beneath a cut full moon. Winter grasses are engraved on both sides.

Three deep horizontal cuts, crossing the front, back, and base, suggest the rolling landscape. Two are curved and polished; one, angular and finished to a textured shade of gray.

The hardy mustang is descended from horses brought to the New World by sixteenth-cen­tury Spanish explorers. Today this spirited creature, wild or semiwild, roams the plains fighting for survival.
