Demitasse Set
Description
This White Star Line demitasse set is in a pattern commonly referred to as "Wisteria", even though there are no surviving records confirming the actual name. Pieces of fine bone china in this pattern were manufactured by Wm. Brownfield & Son, Samson & Bridgwood, and later by Copeland Spode.
Although this particular piece is not from Titanic, pieces in this pattern represented the bulk of the china wares used onboard and were featured prominently in first class dining areas.
Notably this piece is missing the "Stonier & Co. Liverpool" distributor mark and registration numbers commonly found imprinted on the bottom of "Wisteria" pieces. This suggests that this set was a production sample, and may have never made it onboard a White Star Line ship.
