The centenary of the Corning Glass Works, founded in 1851, was commemorated by the opening of the Corning Glass Center, dedicated to the history of art, science and industry of glassmaking. Corning Glass commissioned this commemorative cup in honour of the long relationship which has existed between the arts and industries of Britain and America
