Red Granite NYC Subway Tile Trivet
4 × 4 × 1.25 inches (10 × 10 × 3 cm) granite tile trivet
These heavy Imperial Red Granite tiles are from the 53rd Street and 3rd Avenue entry to the E train at the Lipstick Building at 885 Third Avenue. They are rare in that they are not used at any of the systems other 472 stations, and match the building’s facade, and forecourt which opened in 1986. These few tiles (about or less than a dozen) were included in a carton filled with the more common white, contemporary porcelain tiles at a large architectural salvage store downtown.
They retain a lot of accumulated character, even after being washed thoroughly. Added bumpers make them perfect for under a plant, spatula, hot pan, or cool cocktail as a trivet or mini plinth.
