Bombay, Baroda & Central India Railway Volunteer Rifle Corps

A rare survival of mess crockery from the Bombay, Baroda & Central India Railway Volunteer Rifle Corps, 1st Battn. The white porcelain egg cup, retailed by JAMES GREEN & NEPHEW, LONDON is transfer printed in pale blue with a design showing a steam train crossing a viaduct with palanquin and bearers in the foregound, surrounded by the title with a background of regimental colours and surmounted by an imperial crown. Despite the chip to the top this is a desirable little relic of distant days in an Indian Volunteer mess. nov23/1
