Add a piece of history to your collection with this set of two custard cups and one plate from the US Army Medical Dept. These items were manufactured in 1943 by Buffalo China Co. and are made of durable restaurant ware material. 
A few pitting marks in the cup bottoms.
Custard cups are sometimes described as mortars but most likely used by the U.S. Army Medical Departments in hospitals for patients meals.  Please view photos and ask if you have questions.  Thank you
