| This is a vintage souvenir tea strainer from the Cunard White Star Line ocean liner the MS Caronia, known as the Green Goddess because of her coloring and art deco high style. The tea strainer was made between her maiden voyage in 1949 and decommissioning in 1969. The tea strainer measures 6.5 inches long by 2.25 in diameter and is made of EPNS silver plate with an applied enamel shield with the White Star flag and is in excellent, mint condition. The MS Caronia was famous for being a hotel for 500 guests in Southampton as they were transferred in private pullman cars to London for the coronation of QEII in 1953. The guests were ensconced by Aspley House on the parade route under a covering in the pouring rain and served white gloved catering before a return trip that evening to the ship again. A wonderful piece of ocean liner memorabilia. Shipping in the US by USPS priority insured. | |||||||||
