Vintage Thingie Thursday: Vintage Restaurant Ware

Welcome everyone to Vintage Thingies Thursday. If you have a love for vintage things, well....you have come to the right place. We have a "dog-gone" good time each and every week!!! If you are new to this party, please take the time to read and follow the instructions for participating in Vintage Thingies Thursday, click HERE. I try and keep things fairly simple, so  please make sure you follow the instructions. 
Please only ONE link per week.    

I have been working on rearranging some things around here lately and thought it was a good opportunity to show you a few of my well loved restaurant ware I have in my collection.

I just love this mug with all of its red floral design that just makes me smile. This Syracuse cup is heavy and reminds me of cups used in diners long ago.

I wish I could remember where I picked this plate up from, but I can  not. I do wish I would have found more than one, but one was all I found that day. This is another great restaurant plate that is really heavy. Funny thing is, when I find these restaurant ware plates, the first thing I notice is the size of these compared to the size of dinner plates today. These vintage ones are much smaller than the oversize ones we fill up today....no wonder we ( I ) have a weight problem. I have decided to start using these vintage plates and no refills!!

I love this old beat up platter. The navy floral design is just stunning. The pattern is called Daisy. I know it has a lot of wear and tear but that only adds to its charm for me.

I wonder, if I am the only one with a passion for old restaurant dishes??? Surely, I could not be alone!!

Happy Vintage Thingie Thursday!!! Have a great week ahead!!
