Frederic C. Adams Public Library 100th Anniversary
Commemorative cup plates are available for $10.00 (image
of actual cup plate is unavailable, though the image to the left is the
image engraved on the cup plate)
Cup plates were widely used in the eighteenth and early nineteenth century. Hot tea was served in handless cups and poured into saucers to cool. Tea was drunk from the saucer while the cup was placed on a cup plate to protect the table. Each of these commemorative cup plates is signed with the Pairpoint trademark and the initials or monogram of the mold engraver. The molds are engraved by traditional methods, free-hand, directly in steel, with hammer and chisel. Pairpoint cup plates are hand pressed in 34% lead crystal. |
