The photo to the left shows the 2nd type of first class china used
onboard the Empress - Faucille. This is the only intact piece I have seen, and viewed a broken dinner plate once
before. It is unknown why this pattern was made in such small quantities for CPR. You can view several other photos of
the museum online at: http://www.pbase.com/kiml/empress. Photo courtesy of the aforementioned webpage.
