Bowl made in Elsinore, Denmark, c.1908
This is a Danish porcelain bowl. It is inscribed 'May Prosperity Attend Capt. W. Newman and Success to the Rinaldo of Hull". The ship the Rinaldo was made in Hull at Earle's shipyard in 1872. It was owned by the Wilson Shipping Line in Hull but later sold to Danish owners. Unfortunately, this bowl didn't bring the luck it was meant to. In 1908 the Rinaldo ran aground on passage from Riga to Hull.
