A truly wonderful tumbler from the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe. This item appears rather delicate - tapered toward the base, and featuring a band of eight horizontal, needle-etched lines, broken once to allow for the placement of "Santa Fe" in the distinctive and instantly recognizable script lettering used by the railroad. Condition is excellent. There is one extremely tiny rough spot along the rim - so minor, it almost escapes mention. The glass is crystal clear, with no residue. Simply a beautiful piece!

The popular "California Poppy" pattern, used on board the dining cars of the AT&SF. This pattern was in use for several decades, and is extremely popular with collectors. Produced by a number of makers, both in Germany and the United States. Check the listing page for items available.

A simple, black plastic swizzle stick with "Atlantic Coast Line" printed along the shaft in white. Excellent condition.

A delightful after dinner coffee cup and saucer, featuring B & O's famous Centenary pattern. Both pieces bearing a Scammell's Lamberton China backstamp, dating the items as pre-1949, when the contract to produce the decoration was granted to Shenango. As is seemingly typical with the A.D. cup, the foot is a hair too large for the saucer well, and does not nest perfectly in place. The cup exhibits a manufacturing flaw at the base of the handle, which looks, at first glance, like a hairline crack. However, examination under magnification reveals that this was extant prior to glaze firing. A charming example of this famous pattern.

A great cup and saucer from the Canadian National Railway System! Manufactured by Grindley in the mid-1960's. Simply decorated, but quite striking in yellow and white with black crest and lines. Excellent condition, exhibiting only minor signs of use and wear.

The popular "Violets and Daisies" pattern, adapted by Syracuse China from a popular violet spray decoration on fine china by Haviland of Limoges, France. Syracuse added the daisies, and created a lovely and unique design; applied, quite unusually, as overglaze decals. Check the listing page for available items.

A breakfast menu from the CB & Q, printed on a single card measuring 6½" x 10½". Black text with a bright green border - the railroad's "Burlington Route" crest appears at lower left in red and black. Excellent condition, with no bends, folds, creases, or stains.

This is a magnificent example of railroad china from the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railroad. Manufactured by Buffalo China, this piece is in exceptionally fine condition, with an excellent glaze surface and no nicks, chips or cracks. This platter would make an excellent display piece.

A beautiful fruit bowl from Missouri Pacific's "Eagle". We located several of these bowls in excellent condition - no cracks, chips, or hairlines - dated between 1951 and 1954. A lone example is without the railroad backstamp, but the topmark renders this inconsequential. Very fine examples of this very collectible railroad china.

A beautiful bread plate from "The Eagle", manufactured for Missouri Pacific by Syracuse China. We have several examples of this piece, all 1955 with the exception of one from the previous year. Each backstamped, and all in excellent condition.

A wonderful piece of German railroad china - a teapot from Mitropa. This piece shows minimal signs of use, and is complete with an interestingly designed lid, which may have been intended to double as an under liner. We might have thought the two pieces to be mismatched were it not for the fact that we located two identical teapots! Very nice.

Purple Laurel - one of the most recognized of railroad-related patterns. Produced for the railroad over a number of years by most of the major manufacturers. Check the listing page for items currently available.

A small platter bearing the Pere Marquette Auto Ferry crest at center. Furnished by Albert Pick, the maker is not identified. Showing signs of use, but glaze surface still excellent, with no nicks, chips, or cracks. A nice example of this collectible Great Lakes ferry service china.

Though not railroad china per se, Portland Pottery's "Railway" pattern is collected by many railroadiana aficionados. This colorful transfer ware is quite decorative, featuring a 19th Century locomotive and coaches, set before a country hillside. This is non-vitrified ware, and often exhibits surface crazing; however, this is not considered to be greatly detrimental, and will not be noted unless the integrity of an item is compromised.

A beautiful linen tablecloth from the St. Louis-San Francisco Railway, featuring a lovely acanthus motif border decoration, and a large "Frisco" logo at center. The impressive logo measures 9½" across, with the railroad's full name: "St. Louis-San Francisco Ry" below. Condition is excellent, with no tears, wear, or repairs evident. Close examination will reveal some very pale staining in some small areas, which is almost not worthy of mention as it does not detract from a piece that should be expected to have seen repeated use. Apparently intended for a "deuce," or small table for two, the cloth measures 34¾" square. For those of you who might wish to use this item, and who don't have a tiny, dining car-size table, it would be a simple matter to place it at center on top of a larger linen tablecloth to cover a larger area. Also, at the time of listing, we have two examples available, which can, of course, be used in tandem. As we know that digital photography will not be able to record the delicate, white-on-white damask pattern, we hope you will take our word that this is an excellent example in very nice condition, and would make a wonderful backdrop for your Syracuse "Denmark" pattern china!
