UNITED FRUIT COMPANY Demi Set ~ 1920s Lamberton

$100.00

Here is a hard to find demitasse cup and saucer used by United Fruit Company. Made by Scammell Lamberton China, the set dates to the 1920s.

United Fruit Company was formed by the merger of four fruit cargo lines and shipped cargo as well as carried passengers to Central America and the Caribbean until the late 1960s.

Both cup and saucer feature the life preserver logo with intertwined UNFCO in the middle, all in blue, with matching lines around each piece. The cup is backstamped Lamberton China while the saucer has no manufacturer.

The cup stands 2 1/4 inches tall and the saucer measures 4 3/4 inches in diameter. Both pieces are in very good condition, showing little use. The cup has a thicker area of glaze on the back. Doesn't detract and hardly shows unless you're looking for it.  There is a glaze defect on the rim of the cup, which I've pictured.  Regardless, it's a hard pattern to find and a demi set is one of the hardest.

Thanks for looking!
