Very uncommon yellow and with the hand painted flower pedal decal, this is truly a most beautiful plate! Perfect for displaying or adding to your collection! Syracuse China was originally created for use in restaurants and on trains, before anyone had heard of Styrofoam and paper plates, it was designed to withstand heavy use but had to look attractive. Unlike most of today’s china used in restaurants, which favors a plain white surface so as not to distract the eye from the food on the plate, the china often had a pattern. The commercial settings where hotel china was used provided the perfect place to test consumer response. If a traveler saw a pattern that caught their eye when on vacation, perhaps they would purchase a set of the same china in a lighter weight when they returned home. Founded in 1871, as the Onondaga Pottery (O.P. Co.), the company adopted the name Syracuse China in 1895. The name change heralded the success of the company’s new vitreous china which won the medal for translucent china at the World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893. The chip-resistant, round edge shape introduced in 1896 was a perfect match for institutional use. Hotels became a major market for the company. The old ivory-colored clay body, featured in the pattern pictured on these pages, was introduced in 1926 and ran until the early 1950's. Condition: Excellent vintage preowned condition.
