A magnificent piece of North American maritime history, this Vintage 1963 Grindley Canadian Coast Guard Teacup & Saucer Set is a rare find for collectors of government surplus, naval militaria, and premium restaurant ware. Manufactured in July 1963 by the renowned W.H. Grindley company in England, this 2-piece set was custom-ordered for official use aboard Canadian Coast Guard (CCG / GCC) vessels or shore stations.
Both pieces of this heavy-duty vitrified ironstone set feature the official, historic Canadian Coast Guard crest crisply top-marked in vibrant color, beautifully accented by a matching dual-band rim. Engineered to withstand the rolling swells of life at sea, its thick-walled commercial construction offers outstanding heat retention and durability, making it an exceptional display piece or a unique addition to your morning routine.
