Pan Am Airlines, Demitasse Cups and Saucers, Noritake, President Pattern, Gold Eagle, Espresso, Set of 6, Rare, Collectible
This is a gorgeous set of 6 demitasse cups and saucers made by Noritake for Pan American Airlines. The pattern is called President and has a gold eagle surrounded by stars and has a blue/green band on the rim against a white base. This set would be perfect for an afternoon tea. A great way to serve afternoon coffee or espresso on the veranda.
It is rare to find a full set of six of these in "like new condition".
In 1960, Pan Am served its first-class passengers meals on this Noritake china. The service was called President Pattern after WWII. This was because during the war Franklin Roosevelt had flown on Pan Am when traveling to meet with Winston Churchill and Joseph Stalin.
A demitasse is a small cup used to serve Turkish coffee or espresso. Demitasse is the French word for half cup.
