Mark Samitt, President of Steuben, shares his excitement over “Clearly Speaking:  Steuben’s Blog" launch when stating:
“We’re thrilled to be adding our voice to the online community through this innovative blog. It's been great reaching out in the past year to various audiences through social media and we hope to build upon those relationships that we have built and hold dear. Of course, we will showcase the fine crystal products that Steuben offers, but we also wish to share our love and appreciation of the finer things in life."
Robert Nachman, Steuben’s Creative Director, will be a contributor to the blog along with Steuben crystal collector Julia Morgan. With their blog writing, Robert and Julia build on Steuben's motto "Casual Luxury for the Way We Live Today" and will provide musings on much more than just crystal.  As Julia chimes in:
"I just love the perfection of Steuben's crystal and bringing that perfect ideal to every aspect of my life is a dream. I'm so excited to be able to share the things I love as a Steuben collector and to be able to connect with other fans and writers who feel the same way. There is just so much we can talk about together!"
