First Class Soup Bowls

[Jason Schleisman]

I have seen many examples of the "Wisteria" as well as the "Gothic Arch" (if you will) china, and have yet to come across a genuine soup bowl/plate in these patterns. I have seen the second and third class patterns in soup bowls, but never a first class. Did these china services not include soup bowls? Was the soup actually served in individual silver-plate bowls instead? Does anyone know? I am dying of curiosity!

idon't know, but there are some soup plates and I can imagine that the soup was brought in the dining room in silver bowls or some kind of "pitchers" and poured in to the plates that have been already laid on the places.
