EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite cobalt blue and gilt saucer, a rare survivor from the White Star Line's RMS Titanic, showcases the elegant craftsmanship of Spode China. The saucer, adorned with the initials "OSNC" to the centre, represents the Oceanic Steam Navigation Company, the original name of the White Star Line. The numbers "4332" and "580303" inscribed on the base denote its registrations in 1911. This pattern, widely acknowledged as the rarest from the White Star Line, has been found at the Titanic's wreck site. Its use on the Titanic remains a mystery, with suggestions including its role as presentation china or part of a millionaire's service. The saucer's ornate design, reminiscent of the opulence of the 1910s, adds to its allure as a piece of maritime history. This stunning artifact, offered by Henry Aldridge & Son Ltd. from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a testament to the luxury and elegance of the Titanic and the era of ocean liners. Its intricate details and rich history make it a must-have for collectors and enthusiasts of maritime antiquities.
