{HISTORY}

When modern meets modern! This pair of vintage restaurant ware dishes were made during the 1960s by Homer Laughlin, but their retro design still seems impossibly modern as if they were just made yesterday.

Both plates contain a rolled rim underneath signaling that they were made for a busy restaurant - one that saw the hustle-bustle of energetic meal times and the waitstaff who served them.

Sometimes restaurant ware is marked with the dining establishment it was intended for - but sometimes not and in that case, their former food stories are left up to our imaginations. Such is the story here with these two. Perhaps they were part of the serving set in a diner or a coffee shop or a luncheonette. Maybe they served up tuna sandwiches, or Cobb salads or the daily special. Perhaps they came from a big city or a roadside respite or maybe even a boardwalk eatery looking out over the ocean. Anything is possible when it comes to the past lives of this pair. And that's the fun of vintage restaurant ware. It's a treat for the imagination as well as the mealtime!
