Product Description
How would you like to enjoy your evening aperitif in a real White Star crystal cordial? I take special pride in bringing you only original high-quality memorabilia, and this cordial fits the bill. This cordial comes from the collection of a highly respected collector. I used to think that in the pre-war period, the logo on each piece of crystal was etched not frosted. In the postwar period, frosting was the rule. But I have changed my mind as we know from pieces salvaged from Titanic that both frosted and etched logos were used on crystal. Now I theorize etched logo equals first-class and frosted logo equals second-class. And people say you can’t learn from salvage….
The archival photograph shows a cordial in use in Olympic’s smoking room around 1920. Stands about 3″ tall. Finding real White Star crystal has always been tough, and that trend is only getting worse! Excellent condition. JF
