Vintage: 1948 - 1960's
Details: This vintage butter pat is extremely hard to find! It is from Syracuse China, (originally the Onondaga Pottery Company) in Syracuse, NY. This is their Whitfield Gardenia pattern, aka #96801. It is part of their Restaurant Ware collection which is much thicker vitrified china, used not only in restaurants but also hotels, railroads, and diners, so it had to be strong for intensive commercial use. The backstamp simply marked: U.S.A., we know this is an early piece, this pattern was originally issued circa 1948 and through the mid-1960s. If you find this pattern with a gold band at the top, that was made exclusively for the Illinois Central Railroad (ICRR) and called "Magnolia Star".
How to Use: Butter Pats are highly collectible, if you're a collector this one is not to be missed! They make unique ring dishes, small soap dishes, tea bag holders, or as intended, for serving butter.
