For this month’s crystal feature, we are featuring a pattern with a number, not a name, and made by a manufacturer that we’ve not featured in the 7 years we’ve been publishing our online newsletter.  The pattern is 7877 and the maker is the famed Steuben Glass.  7877 is a blown glass crystal pattern with a tulip bowl and a baluster (bulbous design form where the stem bulges out on the middle and returns to its original diameter) air bubble stem.  This pattern exudes quality, and is a great testament to the reputation for excellence that Steuben has earned.  But a sip of fine cognac from a Steuben stem has to be counted as one of life’s great experiences.  To browse and order in a great selection of place setting, serving, and accessory pieces in 7877, begin at the links below.
