Vintage Syracuse China Salad Plate

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 mid-century china has stood the test of time for good reason: it's sturdy, unpretentious, classic and true. Proudly produced in the 1950s by Syracuse China, this handsome scalloped Vintage Syracuse China Salad Plate is decorated with a striking slate blue and cashmere taupe rim.

Originally formed as the Onondaga Pottery Company (O.P. Co.) in 1871, this pioneering manufacturer would eventually make the town of Syracuse, New York synonymous with American-made china. Named Onondaga for its home county, O.P. Co. products began sporting a “Syracuse China” back-stamp in 1895. As the first American company to produce high quality vitreous china, Syracuse was a top choice for hotels, clubs, airplanes, trains, cruise ships, and restaurants all over the world.

With its timeless, homey quality, this versatile 8.25" plate was traditionally used for a generously sized salad, sandwich with chips or á la carte entrée. Ideal for your own breakfast or lunch creations, its sure to infuse any meal with festive, light-hearted fun. Acquired as part of a larger collection of matching plates, bowls and cups, we are excited to share these pieces, originally produced for the rough and tumble of a chaotic diner. Smart and sturdy, they promise to become star performers in your own busy household!
