Serving dish
The tableware for the first-class dining room of the ocean liner Normandie included extensive silver, glass, and porcelain services that were at once elegant and sturdy. Most pieces were marked with the concentric monogram CGT, the initials of the Compagnie Générale Transatlantique which owned the Normandie. This serving dish belongs to a porcelain service by Suzanne Lalique-Haviland (daughter of the renowned jeweler and glassmaker René-Jules Lalique) and was manufactured by Haviland in Limoges.
