The Titanic Dinner Service that was never used by Royal Crown Derby

  

THE TABLE-WARE THAT NEVER WAS. THE WHITE STAR LINE, APRIL 1912. As we're now coming up to the 111th Anniversary of the foundering of RMS Titanic, this sale offers a further insight to what could have been. Royal Crown Derby were commissioned to design the table ware for the luxury liner. However, the cost was so expensive the management of the White Star Line did not order the products, but instead opted for a much cheaper and much less impressive alternative.

Royal Crown Derby discovered the pattern book of the original products, and in 2011, almost a hundred years after the disaster decided to make a limited edition of the bone china services that were meant to grace the first class tables on the ill-fated Titanic. It is so precious to me it has never been displayed - but here's your opportunity to put matters right! This beautiful and elegant side dish is of fine bone china. Brand New in Gilded White, festooned with 2-colours of Green Garlands.

The dish is round with five-scaloped edges. The diameter of the side dish is 4.5 inches, and the depth is approx 1-inch. This superb dish is a limited edition piece, and as such is rare. The Titanic connection makes it all the rarer still. The quality of Royal Crown Derby speaks for itself.
