1963 Syracuse China Red Roxbury Restaurant Ware Coffee Cups & Saucers – 8-Piece Set

Serve up vintage hospitality with this exceptional 8-piece set of vintage restaurant ware by the renowned Syracuse China Company. This matching service for four features heavy-duty coffee cups paired perfectly with their original matching saucers. Decorated in the highly collectible "Roxbury" (also known as Mayflower Red) pattern, each piece is adorned with a crisp, deep red laurel leaf vine border encircling a warm ivory-white vitrified body. 

Engineered during the golden age of American diner culture, these commercial-grade vitrified ceramic pieces were built to withstand heavy use while keeping beverages piping hot. The cups are styled with a distinctively thick, easy-to-grip loop handle characteristic of classic mid-century café ware. Whether you are expanding an active collection of retro restaurant china, adding a punchy farmhouse accent to your open hutch, or serving espresso with a side of historical charm, this durable set brings unparalleled nostalgic character to the table.

• Era: Manufactured in April 1963.
• Context: The stamped code "92-D" is Syracuse China's official alphanumeric date marker. The number "92" indicates the 92nd year of the company's production (counting from their founding as Onondaga Pottery Co. in 1871), and the letter "D" designates the fourth month of that year (April). Pieces from this specific mid-century era are highly sought after by restaurant ware purists today

Collected with intention, not imitation.
