Stephens Glassware Corporation was established in 1954 by co-founders
Thomas Stephens III and his wife Jennie Stephens. Together they
opened the doors to a little corner shop in the heart of Bloomfield, New
Jersey.

They ran small advertisements
in the local newspaper, but the growing success was the direct result of
"satisfied customers." Word spread of the unique gifts;
each and every item individually cut by hand. Word spread of the
quality service; "fast and friendly" to say the least.
|
When Thomas Stephens III passed away in 1967, his son and
daughter "stepped up to the plate" in an effort to keep their
father's memory and his dream alive.
Although Thomas Stephens IV knew he could never "fill his
father's shoes," he did what he could. And what he did helped
make this company what it is today.

In the early 1970's Stephens Glassware made it's entrance into the
gift industry. First, in the Atlantic City Gift Show followed by the
New York International Gift Fair. Hopes of expansion soon turned
into a reality.
In 1990, the company was relocated to the town of Oak Ridge, New
Jersey. Here the Stephens' business could grow as well as the
family.
In 2000, monogrammed gifts were once again deemed a "hot
trend," and business was booming. While at the New York Gift
International Gift Fair the family saw the drastic increase in cliental as
a "problem."
Not that they did not want "new business," but this company
had built a reputation on not only the quality personalized gifts, but the
quality personable service... and they weren't about to let that go.
That was the last gift show Stephens Glassware attended.

Today you can find quality products manufactured by Stephens Glassware
in fine retailers throughout the United
States. The company is still family owned and operated and
continues to grow... at a steady pace.
