About Antique Railroad China

Railroads paid a lot of attention to their china, often employing custom patterns. Nowadays collectors prize this china. A pattern may have included plates, saucers, coffee cups, demitasse cups, compotes, teapots, chocolate pots, butter pats, egg cups, bouillon cups, ashtrays, and others. Within any category such as plates or teapots, there may be different sizes, manufacturers, and slight variations in the pattern. China thats explicitly marked for a railroad is especially valued - some railroads used stock patterns without explicit railroad markings.
