RESTAURANT CHINA : IDENTIFICATION & VALUE GUIDE FOR RESTAURANT, AIRLINE, SHIP & RAILROAD DINNERWARE
Conroy, Barbara J.
1998 41780 This giant new reference book covers dinnerware, oven-to-table serving pieces, and accessories specifically designed for use in commercial food service, as opposed to household tableware. This fine china is used in restaurants, in addition to hotel, government, company, military, hospital, school, church, club, fraternal organization, department and drugstore, railroad station and airport dining rooms and cafeterias, as well as on trains, ships, and airplanes. Restaurant china brings a hint of nostalgia of pre-freeway cross-country vacations by car or rail, when fast food stops were nonexistent and dining out was a big event for people. In addition to 690 color photographs, Conroy has included lengthy alphabetical topmark lists, logo illustrations, value ranges, and in-depth sections on manufacturing and decoration techniques. 2003 values. AUTHORBIO: Barbara Conroy and her husband have collected restaurant china together for about 20 years. She spent more than six years in intense study for her two volumes on Restaurant China, and her careful research is evident in the two volumes. REVIEW: This 368-page volume begins with airline dinnerware, then moves on to ship and railroad china before examining military, western, and oriental motif china. Also covered is china used in casinos, amusement parks and fairgrounds, and company dining rooms, although the bulk of the book is devoted to airline, ship, and railroad dinnerware. A selection of manufacturers' pieces that include samples and employee gifts is provided. About the Author Barbara Conroy and her husband have collected restaurant china together for about 20 years. She spent more than six years in intense study for her two volumes on Restaurant China, and her careful research is evident in the two volumes. Collector Books 1574320599 / 9781574320596
