Product Description
Cunard 1907-era bone-china demitasse cup and saucer as used on board the RMS Lusitania and other ships of the fleet. While writing this description, I thought of a passenger sitting down to refreshments in the Verandah Cafe on board Lusitania, and when done, slipping this cup and saucer into a bag to take home as a souvenir.
I was talking to an associate of mine a few years ago, and he told me a story about going into storage on board the Queen Mary back in the early 1980’s, and one of the things he vividly remembers is a shipping crate full of these cups and saucers in the original packaging. They had never been removed from the original wrapping. When Cunard retired the Mary, they took a lot of items that were in storage that the company would not be able to use and put them on board the Mary simply to get rid of them and close out their warehouse.
In great condition. No chips, cracks, or crazing.
