Object Details
- Steelite
- Description (Brief)
- This white, crescent-shaped salad plate has a starry blue sky and a thin, yellow crescent moon baked into the surface. This plate was part of the collection of dinnerware used in the "Windows on the World" restaurant located on the 107th floor of Tower 1 of the World Trade Center. “Windows on the World” was a popular destination with building occupants, tourists, and city residents. The china survived because the owner of the restaurant had taken the china home for a private function.
