User: Hotel Del Monte
Date of cup: 1937
From the Wikipedia: "The Hotel Del Monte was a large resort hotel in Monterey, California, from its opening in 1880 until 1942. It was one of the finest luxury hotels in North America. During World War II, it closed and the building was leased to the United States Navy. It was first used by the Navy as a school where enlisted men spent the second, third, and fourth months of an eleven-month course being trained as electronic technicians. Later the Hotel Del Monte became the Naval Postgraduate School. Today, [2023] the building is called Herrmann Hall. It contains school administrative offices and the Navy Gateway Inns and Suites, a hotel."
This pattern is one of a number of designs with similar lines and grouping of three ornaments found in a binder of Syracuse overglazed patterns. This one, however, is described as "Dk Blue and gold – gold edge line" that accurately depicts the design found on this china with the addition of the Hotel Del Monte crest in metallic gold.
