This is a beautiful vegetable dish made for the White Star Line and used in the 1st class dining areas.
The wonderful, Greek Key-style pattern around the rim is real gold leaf and is identical the fine bone china made exclusively for RMS Olympic & Titanic by Royal Crown Derby in 1911! The Ocean Steam Navigation Company logo is clear in the centre and the pattern is reminiscent of laurel leaves.The reverse is backstamped 'White Star Line' and the makers' marks, Bisto of England and the suppliers name, Stonier & Co, Liverpool..
Condition is excellent with no chips, cracks, repairs or damage to the gold leaf.
A simply stunning piece of china with an incredible history and a guaranteed investment!
