Sugar and Creamer

A Frumpy Sugar Lid on an Oval Base with an undersized Gravy Boat shaped Creamer. Both seem almost out of place with today's Super Sized scale to all things Tabletop.

Creamer/Dinner Plate

This Maroon is a signature color of the 1950s, as are the gray, bright yellow and dark green. The coupe shaped plate is more exaggerated than most and really keeps the food where it belongs.

Bottom Information

Mark on the bottom lets you know the colored stripes were placed under a clear glaze so you can safely put this dinnerware in a dishwasher and not have the decoration wash off.
