Syracuse China - Going, Going, Gone.

I know I'm a day late and a dollar short with this news, but when I decided today to post an article on Syracuse China, I discovered that it has now gone or is soon to go the way of almost all USA dinnerware manufacturers. I came across this article (10 Dec 2008)from the Central New York Newspaper - The Post-Standard, reporting the impending closure of the Syracuse China Company."Syracuse China Fading Into History"

For a detailed history of the company prior to this time I recommend this site - "The History of Syracuse China"

These two articles will give you more info than I possibly can. I think Syracuse is one of the last major potteries in the U.S.A. to mass produce dinner and restaurant ware. They will be sorely missed.

I have a small selection of Syracuse in my store should you want a piece of American history. "Buy Syracuse China at Quality Junk in Atomic Mall"
