Thomas Germany plates for hotel in Jerusalem dairy service
(1 vote)
Re: nw3cat
That's a pleasing design, and a great backstamp: "dairy service" assumes it's a kosher hotel, meaning it must keep both sets of dishes (fleishig for meat meals, milchig for dairy) separate, as in not even running them through the dishwasher at the same time.
Re: nw3cat
Thanks, mcmindigo -- I knew basically what kosher was, but didn't know the words in Yiddish (is that the language that 'fleishig' and 'milchig' are in?). It's odd that they would turn up out in near-rural Oregon, and only those plates and the saucers...
Re: nw3cat
Yes, it's Yiddish, and it's a little surprising that kosher dishes have migrated to Oregon, but hey, I certainly know people who are prone to taking 'souvenirs' from hotels, and the Jewish diaspora reaches into all sorts of geographic nooks and crannies....thanks again for posting such a fun find!
Re: nw3cat
Ha...you know, I thought about the 'five-finger souvenir' possibility : )
