Hello
I'm interested in the VIP Dinnerware sold in the Titanic store, just curious if anyone knows the history or purpose of them?
I haven't seen too many images of these plates or references to them in any movies. They always use the first class dinnerware set
Any ideas?
Thanks!

I'm curious if anyone knows... It just dawned on me, I've never seen any of the Crown Derby china from the A La Carte restaurant show up in any footage or artifact exhibits. Considering that even the rare Lancaster pattern of Spodes cobalt china was found in the debris field, how could none of...

Hello!
I've spend the half day to find out more about tableware and cutlery on the titanic. I'm specially interested in the makers / suppliers of Titanics tableware. But as far as I can tell, information on that topic is pretty rare. I just found that some of the cutlery was made by "Arthur...
I picked up this cup and saucer recently. It appears to be of the same design as those on the Olympic and Titantic. It has the typical Brown & Turquoise design with the White Star Lines flag. The bottom of the cup is painted with what appears to be 4488, however I'm not 100% on that first #4...

I have been having a few conversations regarding when china was made for the Titanic.
One school of thought says that china recently seen on eBay and dated (made on) 3/1912 would have been too late for use on the Titanic. Nice idea that it is I would think logic suggests that china dated 1911...
Does anyone know what the bottom markings were which were used onboard the Normandie for the CGT china? Dates the gold CGT china was used? I've seen several markings - but am unsure. I've seen "GDA Limoges France" inside a laurel wreath, "Haviland France Limoges", and "Haviland France - Jean...
