This is an 1909 Alaska Yukon Pacific Exposition AYPE souvenir creamer with the fair logo on one side. Balmoral China made in England. It is about 4 1/4" tall. A couple of odd dark spots, otherwise good condition, no chips, cracks or crazing.
The Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition, held in Seattle from June 1 to October 16, followed on the heels of the 1906 Lewis and Clark Exposition in Portland, Oregon. Initial inspiration for the fair came from a group of Alaska's gold rush pionee...rs in 1905. In 1906, Seattle businessmen altered the original plan, postponed the 1907 date (so as not to conflict with the Jamestown, Virginia tricentennial celebration) until 1909, and sought financial support for an enlarged scope. The AYPE followed a tradition established in 1876 when Philadelphia held a Centennial Exposition. It was an opportunity for Seattleites to display pride in their heritage and their patriotism.
