STEUBEN CAST GLASS GRILL. A very interesting and exciting find, this Steuben grill was made as a ventilation grate for a cruise liner by Steuben. The grill design is pictured on page 92 of the book Frederic Carder & Steuben Glass by Dimitroff and the information on this page indicates that these items were made for use on the S.S. Morro Castle and the S.S. Oriente. We have obtained information that states that the S.S. Morro Castle burned and was destroyed and that the S.S. Oriente was decommissioned and items were salvaged from the ship leading us to believe that this grill came from the S.S. Oriente. The glass is beautiful cast Bristol yellow and features a fleur de lis design in each corner with a spoked wheel in the center. SIZE: 9-7/8″ sq. CONDITION: Some minor fleabites and a bruise to the design with some slightly larger chips on the outside edge which would be concealed if the grill were mounted. 5-68484 (800-1,200)
