The Details
Artistry: Features Wedgwood’s iconic matte Blue Jasperware finish, adorned with intricate white neoclassical bas-relief.
The Subject: The cup beautifully depicts the QE2, the most famous ocean liner of her era, now retired and a permanent icon of maritime engineering.
Provenance: This set was originally purchased in the exclusive onboard gift shop of the Queen Elizabeth 2.
Era: Research confirms this design was commissioned and sold during the mid-1980s, a peak period for the vessel's transatlantic service.
Condition: In very good vintage condition, showing excellent preservation of the delicate stoneware and crisp relief work.

Why It’s a Must-Have
Whether you are a devoted Wedgwood collector, a maritime enthusiast, or a lover of 1980s nostalgia, this demitasse set is a rare find. It represents the intersection of two powerhouse British brands—Wedgwood and Cunard—making it a sophisticated addition to any display cabinet or espresso service.
