Canadian RCAF Coffee Cup

The Canadian RCAF Coffee Cup is an original piece of military tableware associated with the Royal Canadian Air Force. Made from durable ceramic, this cup typically features the RCAF insignia or related markings, which were commonly issued to personnel for use in mess halls and canteens during the mid-20th century. The design reflects the utilitarian standards of military issue items, with a plain, functional form suitable for daily service use. These cups were part of the broader effort to provide standardized equipment across RCAF facilities, supporting both operational and ceremonial functions. Collectors and historians value such artifacts for their connection to Canada’s military and aviation heritage, as well as for their role in the daily life of service members. The cup’s markings may indicate manufacturer information and production periods, offering further insight into its historical context and use within the RCAF during its operational history.
