Burgee Catering Cruise Delft Dinner Inches Logo Minton Liner
EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning Red Star Line Minton dinner plate, measuring 9.5 inches in diameter, showcases the exquisite Delft blue and white design that was once a hallmark of second-class dining on transatlantic voyages. The plate's centerpiece is the distinctive Red Star Line burgee logo, a red five-pointed star on a white background. The Red Star Line was a pioneering shipping company that played a significant role in the mass migration of Europeans to North America during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Known for its commitment to luxury and comfort, the company spared no expense in catering to its passengers, even in the second class. The Delft-inspired design on this plate is reminiscent of the Dutch pottery tradition that dates back to the 16th century. The intricate blue and white patterns depict scenes of rural landscapes, windmills, and tulips, reflecting the European heritage of the passengers. The use of high-quality Minton porcelain added an air of sophistication to the second-class dining experience. Each plate was carefully crafted, making every meal an occasion to savor. The Red Star Line's dedication to providing excellent dining experiences, even in the second class, set a new standard for ocean travel. This beautiful dinner plate is a testament to the elegance and luxury of transatlantic voyages during the Red Star Line's golden age. It is a unique piece of maritime history that tells a story of transportation, travel, and the human desire to explore new horizons.
