The creamer shown is unmarked, but likely was produced by Wallace China. Tan body with dark green line border. Topmarked with the Ole's Waffle Shops dark green logo of a rotund, uni-brow chef leaning backwards, wearing a chef's hat and half apron.
Tan body plate with a dark green line border. Topmarked with the Ole's Waffle Shops dark green caricature chef logo, centered in a light brown, round waffle.
The tan plate by Wallace — with blue and green lines or stripes and a blue waffle logo — would have been made in the 1930s to 1940s.
