Jackson China

Jackson China

Jackson China. A set of restaurant china with a date code for 1960. The cups are modern, but the remainder of the shapes are fairly standard/tradtional. The decoration makes this a hybrid modern/traditional, more or less. Any opinions? I found I couldn't pass this by. It called to me, sort of...

The cups are the Ship shape. Sugar is Alvin shape. Creamer is Medical shape. Bowls, plates, and platters look like the Roll Edge shape. Unfortunately, I don't know the pattern name at this moment.

Great find!

Quite a haul, Mike!  Hybrid or not, this set would have called to me, too...loud and clear.  I think the bold pattern more than offsets the traditional shape, but would have thought the charcoal and pink put the production date earlier into the 1950's.  The set looks like it's in great shape.

I agree. Pink and charcoal/black says something like 1955 to me. Maybe that's when the pattern originated. Actually, I couldn't believe that this set was only $32 in an antique mall! You never know.
