Michael Leson New York Central System American Rails Tea Cup And Saucer

  

This is a stunning tea cup and saucer set from Michael Leson's "The American Rails" collection, commemorating the iconic New York Central System's 20th Century Limited train. This piece captures the elegance of early 20th-century rail travel with its Art Deco-inspired design featuring bold geometric stripes in black, gray, and white, accented by the "New York Central System" logo in red and the "20th Century Limited" text prominently displayed on the cup.

The cup measures approximately 2.25 inches tall and 3 inches in diameter at the rim, while the saucer is about 5.5 inches across-perfect for espresso, after-dinner coffee, or as a display item for railroad enthusiasts and collectors. This set is in excellent vintage condition with no chips, cracks, crazing, or repairs. The colors remain vibrant, and the gold trim (if present) shows minimal wear. It's a rare find for fans of railroad memorabilia, evoking the glamour of the legendary 20th Century Limited, which ran as a luxury passenger train between New York and Chicago from 1902 to 1967.

Ideal for adding to a collection of train-themed china, Art Deco decor, or as a unique gift. Keywords: Michael Leson, American Rails, New York Central, 20th Century Limited, demitasse cup saucer, railroad china, vintage porcelain, train collectible, Art Deco dinnerware, NYC System.
