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). Click on the small photos to see larger ones.

Syracuse China Woodgrain Cup and Five Small Plates These items are handpainted to look like woodgrain. (Two items are shown in the photo, but there are six items in this group.) There is one cup measuring about 2-7/8" tall. There are four small plates measuring about 6-1/2" across. There is one slightly larger plate measuring about 7-1/4" across. All pieces are backstamped "Syracuse China Econo-rim, Trade Mark Patented." The date code on the cup is 10-V (1941) and the date code on the larger plate is 3BB (1947). The cup is a little bit darker in color, but it still looks good with the plates. All six pieces have a few minor scratches and scuffs, but no chips or cracks. These dishes will weigh six to seven pounds when packed for safe shipping.....$22.50 cup and five plates (priced as a set) |

Wallace China Olympic Hotel Ashtray This restaurant-ware ashtray is signed on the back "Wallace China 3-P Los Angeles, Calif." (I believe that the 3-P indicates an April 1953 manufacture date.) The ashtray is made of heavy white restaurant china with the front logo in green. The logo in the center of the front is of a sailing ship with the words "Marine Room" above it and "Olympic Hotel" below. The ashtray has four cigarette rests, and there are three green seahorses between each cigarrette rest. Condition is very good, with no chips or cracks. There are no significant scratches, but the finish is very lightly scuffed all over which would happen with time. The light scuffs do not interfere with the logo or detract from the appearance.....$9.50 |
