Bowl
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. While some glassware was provided by the famous firm Daum, the more functional pieces, such as this bowl, were made in heat- and break-resistant glass manufactured by the French company Duralex.
