Or, at least, that's what a 1960 ad contended. It's not hard to believe amid the array of luxury crystal barware, serving dishes, and ashtrays from the era that have been assembled for "Glass and Glamour: Steuben's Modern Moment, 1930-1960," which is on exhibit at the Museum of the City of New York through April 25.

Besides functional items, the show features some dazzling display pieces designed by the likes of Henri Matisse, Salvador Dali, Isamu Noguchi, Thomas Hart Benton, and Georgia O'Keeffe and engraved by Steuben's master engravers. Commissioned in the late 1930s as limited-edition pieces, they leave little doubt that glass was an intriguing medium for these artists.
