This style of decorative grille was commissioned for the S.S. Andrea Doria, a transatlantic ship. Carder designed lighting grilles, wall panels, and a variety of other architectural elements in glass.

With John Monteith Gates, the sculptor Sidney Waugh developed a modern yet classical style for the new Steuben colorless glass. The first Gazelle Bowls were engraved by the master engraver Joseph Libisch (1886,1964).
