Condition: Good pre-owned vintage condition. Two cups with a faint crack, very minor base nicks and wear consistent with age and use. Please see photos.
Details: Set of four handle-less bullion cups in Lamberton Sterling's "Gray Star" pattern, used in the dining rooms aboard the SS United States. Each is marked on the bottom with "Lamberton Sterling China made exclusively for United States Lines USA".
Built between 1950 and 1951, the now retired SS United States is the largest ocean liner constructed entirely in the United States, and the fastest ocean liner to cross the Atlantic in either direction. The ship retains the Blue Riband for the highest average speed since her maiden voyage in 1952, and still holds the title today.
A portion of all proceeds will benefit the SS United States Conservancy and their mission to "ensure that America's Flagship inspires and endures for generations to come". Please see our other SS United States items.
