Crystal City Gallery

The Crystal City Gallery shares the story of how Corning became one of the premier centers for glass cutting in the United States, while Corning Glass Works simultaneously became established as a manufacturer of science and specialty glass. Stunning crystal creations await, from a punch bowl fit for royalty to a crystal model of the town of Corning itself.
