Description
Item for sale is a RARE Vintage Iroquois China Heavy Restaurant Ware 9" bread plate (?) Plate is ivory with a blue stripe around the edge. The logo is in red.This plate was manufutered by Syracuse/Iroquois China co. for the iconic Texas diner "One's A Meal".
One's A Meal was a Houston tradition for decades. Located @ 2019 West Gray st. and then in later years just down the way. It was a well known, no frills, Houston tradition. It changed hands in 1978 and became reincarnated as Biba's One's A Meal. I think Biba's closed around 1996. I assume this plate is from the original One's A Meal, but that is just a guess. Whatever the case this plate spent it's days at one of Houston's most legendary diners. A Texas food tradition.
The plate is in great condition. There are a few spots if discoloration that I presume are from the manufacturer. There are no chips, cracks or flea bites and very little utensil marking.
