Orchid – Steuben
One product by Steuben was a transparent colored glass in a very light shade of amethyst.
Shape #6343
A second line, called “Oriental Orchid,” was orchid-hued with white vertical stripes; the entire object was opalescent and coated both inside and out with a light luster. This second type of glass is scarce, not signed, and made mostly in the form of vases, perfumes and candlesticks.
