Pyrex Collector Forums

Looks like the dinnerware with the coat of arms crest mystery has finally been solved. Some members of a restaurant ware collectors group contacted Michael Barber with information confirming it is from the La Salle Hotel in Chicago. A Google image search returns some hotel documents with the logo.

Doug, could you post a picture of the mystery plate? I google searched but couldn't find it. I did find a nice colored version of the ad here.

I am also thinking that these plates may have been purchased after the fire for the remodel.

Here's a different one I wonder if it has been IDed.

At the risk of sounding gluttonous I will say these plates are to small. I purchased the coordinating platter in hopes of a usable dinner plate but it's to big. Am I missing something? Is there a standard size dinner plate or were they made to serve individual sides in restaurants? Seriously, try cutting a steak on one of the dinner plates and see if you can avoid making a mess.

Also, I bet that last plate you posted was really pretty new. I love emerald green.

I found a minty 9 inch Bronze salad bowl today and it inspired me to search more about the dinnerware. I didn't know there was a 10 inch plate. Duh. This one has the glassblower logo.
