EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite cobalt blue and gilt saucer, bearing the distinctive insignia of the White Star Line and the Oceanic Steam Navigation Company (OSNC) initials, is a rare and captivating artifact from the early 1910s. The saucer, made by the renowned English porcelain manufacturer Spode, carries the registration numbers 4332 and 580303, denoting its registration in 1911. This pattern, with its ornate white stars and gilt detailing, is widely acknowledged as the rarest from the White Star Line. Although the exact use of this saucer on the RMS Titanic remains unknown, suggestions include its role as presentation china or part of a millionaire's service. The saucer's elegant design and association with the luxurious White Star Line and the ill-fated Titanic make it a prized collectible for maritime history enthusiasts and collectors. The back of the saucer showcases the intricate gilt detailing and the OSNC initials, adding to its allure. Despite the numerous artifacts recovered from the Titanic wreck site, examples of this rare Spode pattern have been found to be extremely limited, making this saucer a true treasure from the golden age of ocean liner travel.
