EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite cobalt blue and gilt saucer, bearing the initials OSNC in the center, is a rare and captivating piece of maritime history. Crafted by the renowned Spode factory in England during the early 1910s, this saucer carries the registrations numbers 4332 and 580303, indicating its production in 1911. The Spode pattern adorning this saucer is one of the rarest discovered from the White Star Line, with only a few examples found at the wreck site of the RMS Titanic. The use of this saucer on the Titanic remains a mystery. Some historians suggest it may have been part of a presentation service, perhaps intended for VIPs or dignitaries aboard the ship. Others speculate it could have been a component of a millionaire's service, reflecting the opulence and grandeur of the Titanic's first-class dining experience. The cobalt blue background, accented by intricate gilt details, adds an air of elegance and sophistication. The Spode factory's mastery of the OSNC monogram, which stands for the shipping company's owners, Osborne, Stewart & Co., is evident in the precise and elegant execution. This saucer, a testament to the craftsmanship of the Spode factory and the grandeur of the Titanic, offers a glimpse into the luxurious world of ocean travel during the early 20th century. Its discovery at the Titanic wreck site adds to the intrigue and allure of this iconic vessel and the stories it continues to reveal.
