Large, white ceramic coffee cup recovered from the S.S. Central America shipwreck. Lettered in gold // To my / Mother // and generously embellished with gold-painted leaves and flower motifs. Cup is 3.75 inches in diameter and 3.5 inches tall. The top 1.5 inches of the inside surface has been painted gold, and a ~2-inch circle appears at the bottom inside. Some iron-staining appears on the surface, and the gold paint has flaked away in some places. No identifiable hallmark was found. This would have been the personal possession of an unknown passenger and not part of the ship's serving pieces.
