A rare piece indeed! This is one of the original British Airways Concorde in-flight service items used on the very fist Concorde service in the late 1960's and early 1970's.
The bowl is made for British Airways by Royal Doulton, and is in a very fine white porcelain with a blue band around the circumference. This band is embelished with yellow/gold coloured stylised 'droop-nose delta-winged Concordes' around the whole bowl. Unmistakably Concorde, and in a style so typical of that era.
In superb 'flown' condition, this bowl would have made several trips at twice the speed of sound, possibly used by dignitaries and celebrities who could afford the luxury of crossing the Atlantic in just over 3 hours!
Bowl is 4¼ inches in diameter and just over 1½ inches high and carries the Royal Doulton factory mark, plus the British Airways (1960's) Logo/Script and a BA item code of UCCH8000
