Marlene Dietrich Personally Owned Set of Red Egg Cups
Marlene Dietrich personally owned pair of double egg cups from her New York apartment. One cup is in the iconic red oriental ''Willow'' pattern and bears a ''Made in England'' stamp. The other is nearly identical in size, shape and color but is part of the Johnson Brothers' classic ''Historic America'' pattern, featuring a scene from Fort Dearborn, Chicago, complete with acorn and oak leaf motif. The latter bears no marks. Each measures 4'' in height with a 2.5'' diameter mouth on the wider end and 2'' diameter mouth on the smaller end. A few minute chips to the rim of the Johnson Brothers cup, else set is near fine. From the estate of Marlene Dietrich.
