Restaurantware  (also known as hotel china or institutional ware) is a fun collectible. It was made to be durable, so is great to use. It comes in many designs, some of them very creative. It can be collected by the item (just cups or just plates for example), by the pattern, by the manufacturer, or even by color. Because of what it is, most restaurant dishes show moderate to heavy wear, but because of it's durability, it is rarely chipped or cracked.

More logo items, Casino Dishes, Ashtrays, and Smoking Collectibles are on the Casino page.

Restaurant china is heavy, but we will do our best to keep shipping costs as reasonable as possible.
Shipping several items in one box is usually more economical than shipping one at a time.
We will be happy to email postage quotes on one item or multiple items upon request.


Items are priced "each" unless noted otherwise. All inventory is listed online, so be sure to check back for updates.
(If it's not listed here, we don't have it).
