Silver Soup Cup

Listed in the USL silver inventory as a "soup cup," I have never seen a photo of one being used.  Not at all common.  It measures about 3" tall and 5" handle to rim.  Made for the United States Lines in 1952 and dating to the maiden voyage of the ss United States.  It is in great condition. Do you…

Normandie, China Dinner Plate Suites
