Can anyone help date this Richard Ginori demitasse cup with the code G. 5? It is from an Italian shipping line Navigazione Alta Italia (NAI).  Thanks, Steve

Walter - I have another request. I have two Richard Ginori saucers that were produced for the Italian shipping firm Lloyd Treistino. The first saucer has blue and gold graphics and is backstamped Richard Ginori with two codes; 3-37 in green and 346 in red. The second saucer has green graphics and is backstamped Richard Ginori with one code, 5-38 in green. Can you date these saucers?

Background: Italia Marittima S.p.A., from 1919 until 2006 called Lloyd Triestino, founded as Österreichischer Lloyd, is a shipping company with its head office in Trieste, Italy, and run by Evergreen Marine Corporation. Barbara Conroy's Restaurant China books do not include Richard Ginori, the Restaurant Ware Collectors on Facebook haven't been able to help either, internet searches haven't produced any answers. 

Thank you,
