This photograph showcases a rare and intricately designed commemorative thimble cup, crafted by the renowned English pottery manufacturer, Carlton Ware. The cup, which dates back to the early 20th century, pays homage to the White Star Line's iconic ocean liner, RMS Titanic. Measuring just 1.75 inches in height, this diminutive yet detailed cup is an unusual and poignant tribute to the ill-fated luxury ship. The gilt rim encircling the cup adds a touch of elegance and sophistication, reminiscent of the opulence aboard the Titanic during its maiden voyage. The cup was once in the possession of Brian Ticehurst, a distinguished expert on the Titanic. His collection of Titanic memorabilia is renowned for its depth and rarity, making this cup a valuable addition to his esteemed collection. The White Star Line's RMS Titanic was a symbol of transportation innovation and luxury during the era of ocean liners. Its tragic sinking on April 15, 1912, remains one of the most infamous events in maritime history. This commemorative thimble cup serves as a poignant reminder of the ship and the lives it touched, offering a glimpse into the enduring fascination with the Titanic's story. This unique and intricately designed cup is not only a testament to the craftsmanship of Carlton Ware but also a poignant memorial to the White Star Line's legendary RMS Titanic. Its place in the collection of a Titanic expert further underscores its historical significance and rarity.
