Manufacturer: Carr China Company
User: Carr China Service Appreciation
Pattern: Rho Dendra
Date of plate: 1941
Notes: As the backstamp says, this plate was made to honor employees with 25 years of service to the company. The gray design with black lines, in addition to what looks like a stock pattern of pink roses, evokes the Art Deco era in which the company was founded in 1916.
This design was manufactured on Rho Dendra Pink with a thin, or banquet weight, body.

Editor's note: This entry comes from the Carr China website whose content has been transferred to the IDwiki. An effort was made on that site to capture as many examples produced by Carr as possible, and for that reason they might include more mystery patterns and topmarked pieces, or those that might not ordinarily be thought of strictly speaking as restaurant ware.
