From the corner diner to the bustling bistro to your very own kitchen cupboard at home, restaurant china is as popular as ever. This American-made china has stood the test of time for good reason: it's sturdy, unpretentious, classic and true.

Produced in the 1950s by the long-defunct Jackson China Company of Falls Creek, Pennsylvania, this charming small oval dish is decorated in Jackson's Clifton Grey pattern. A soft, warm grey wave design is spray decorated around the rim of the white ironstone dish giving it a timeless, homey quality. Traditionally used in restaurants for small sides (think apple sauce or cottage cheese), we're in love with their cute shape and size and would use them for everything from dipping sauces, to condiments or even a small soap dish in the powder room.  Built to hold up to the rough and tumble use in a restaurant, this sweet oval dish is perfect for your own busy household!

Limited quantities and subject to prior sale. Small Oval Dish measures 5.25" in length x 1.125"H. In excellent unused or barely used condition. Microwave, Dishwasher and Oven Safe.

Learn More About Jackson China

Jackson Vitrified China Company was founded in Falls Creek, Pennsylvania in 1917 on the site of the Bohemian Art Pottery which had gone bankrupt during World War I.  In the mid-1920s the company withstood a severe blow when two of the principals in the corporation were killed by a disgruntled former pottery artist of the Bohemian Art Pottery who claimed he was owed $500. Local support and a loan from a bank in a neighboring town kept Jackson China going.

In 1946, a new owner purchased all shares of stock from local stockholders, doubled the factory floor space, provided modern equipment, and doubled the work force as the company was busy producing quality dinnerware primarily for hotels, restaurants and the railroads. By 1985, Jackson China encountered financial difficulties, was reorganized but failed to remain viable. After 68 years, the once-busy factory in Falls Creek turned off its kilns and closed its doors forever.
