It is absolutely amazing (and sad) to think that MARIANN 9 was another virtual museum when she went to the Alang breakers in 2001. Laid up for over a decade and with very sporadic use since her last sailing for Companhia Portuguesa de Transports Maritimos (the amalgamation of CNN, CCN, and Empresa Insulana) in the mid-1970s, she was chock full of original liner crockery and silver. These bowls are wonderful on their own or can be used with the matching plates as saucers. They are wonderfully deep and can be used for cereal, rice, soup, and any bowl-oriented purposes!

These are manufactured by either Vista Allegre of Portugal or Candal.
