This lot offers a set of three matching dinner plates produced by Buffalo China, a well-known American maker of durable restaurant ware. Each plate measures approximately 9 inches in diameter, as shown with a tape measure in the images.
The plates are made of sturdy white vitrified porcelain and feature a distinctive red scroll pattern along the rim. All three plates have an identical maker’s mark on the reverse, reading “BUFFALO CHINA U.S.A. T3 5” with accompanying star symbols, which helps date their manufacture and verifies their authenticity as products of Buffalo China. The plates display typical signs of restaurant use, such as minor surface scratches and manufacturing glaze variations, but retain their clean overall appearance.
This trio is ideal for collectors of American diner and railroad china, as well as those who appreciate the historical significance and robust construction of mid-century institutional ceramics. Buffalo China has a long-standing reputation for producing quality tableware widely used in commercial and dining establishments throughout the United States.
