**AMAZING ARTICLE, COMPLETE WITH ROCK SOLID PROVENANCE THIS CAME FROM AND WAS USED ONBOARD THE MIGHTY OLYMPIC HERSELF, READ BELOW**

VERY RARE WHITE STAR LINE, RMS "OLYMPIC", ORIGINAL 1ST CLASS CHINA 'WISTERIA" PATTER & SERVICE AS USED ONBOARD THE 'OLYMPIC" & "TITANIC".

VERY RARE 4.5" WIDE EXCEPTIONALLY RARE SUGAR OR SLOP BOWL, ONLY SEEN TWO OF THESE OVER 25+ YEARS, THIS DOES HAVE A CHIP (PICTURED) BUT IS IN OTHERWISE EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION.

THIS ARTICLE, ALONG WITH A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF OTHER SILVER PLATE AND A FULL SERVICE OF THE 1ST CLASS WISTERIA PATTERN CHINA SERVICE COME DIRECT FROM A FAMILY SOURCE, FIRST TIME ON THE OPEN MARKET. THESE ITEMS ONCE BELONGING TO A CAPTAIN WILLIAMS, OF WOOLSTON, SOUTHAMPTON. BY FAMILY REPUTE HE WORKED FOR IMMCO & WHITE STAR LINE, AND ON THE OLYMPIC HERSELF, I AM UNUSUE IN WHAT CAPACITY HE WORKED ONBOARD. IN 1924 UPON RETIRING FROM THE COMPANY HE WAS ALLOWED TO PURCHASE A FULL SERVICE OF SILVER PLATE AND CHINA FOR HIMSELF AND FAMILY, AS IS SHOWN ON THE RECEIPT, THE ARTICLES WERE PURCHASED DIRECT FROM THE OLYMPIC'S VERY OWN STORES, INCREDIBLY AND THANKFULLY THE FAMILY RETAINED THE RECEIPT FROM THE COMPANY AND ALL THE ARTICLES OF SILVER PLATED THAT I AM SELLING ARE INCLUDED ON THAT LIST, DATED 1924 (SEE PICTURES).

BY FAMILY REPUTE THE CHINA THAT I AM ALSO SELLING WAS ALSO PURCHASED DIRECT FROM THE OLYMPIC, KNOWN WITHIN THE FAMILY AS THE OLYMPIC/TITANIC CHINA. INTERESTINGLY NONE OF THE CHINA FEATURES THE WSL LOGO, IT WAS NOT REMOVED, IT WAS SIMPLY PRODUCED WITHOUT, SO THIS WAS EITHER STOCK ON OLYMPIC THAT WAS NOT MARKED OR POSSIBLY WAS ORDERED DIRECT THROUGH THE SUPPLIERS, STONIERS OF LIVERPOOL, AS A SPECIAL ORDER FOR THE CAPTAIN AND SOLD THROUGH THE COMPANY.

THIS CHINA WAS ONLY EVER ORDERED FOR WHITE AND RED STAR LINE, NO OTHER COMPANY USED IT, IT WAS EXCLUSIVE, THERE ARE MANY FINE AND RARE EXAMPLES AMONGST IT, SO ALTHOUGH IT IS UNMARKED, GIVEN ITS CONDITION AND PROVENANCE, THEY ARE STILL INCREDIBLE PIECES AND EXCEPTIONALLY RARE. THE PRICE REFLECTS THE FACT THEY ARE NOT MARKED, BUT IN 25+ YEARS OF DEALING IN THIS FIELD MANY OF THESE ITEMS I HAVE NOT SEEN BEFORE.

THE ORIGINAL RECEIPT HAS BEEN SOLD ALONGSIDE THE ICE BUCKET, A PHOTO COPY OF THE RECEIPT WILL BE INCLUDED WITH EVER OTHER ARTICLE FROM THIS COLLECTION SOLD.
