The history of Hawkes Crystal began when Irishman, Thomas Gibson Hawkes established the company in Corning, New York in 1880. Hawkes Crystal concentrated on imprinting deeply etched and intricately detailed designs into glass blanks. By the end of the century, his company was very well known for the very finest cut glass in America. In the early 1900's, Hawkes purchased many crystal and colored blanks from the Steuben Glass Works which he co-founded. The Steuben blanks which were decorated at the Hawkes Company and were sold as Hawkes, with no credit given to Steuben.
