Artifact Overview

As more Americans hit the roads in the early and mid-1900s they needed a reliable place to stop and eat. Roadside diners promised quick, informal dining at reasonable prices. Proprietors served meals on clean, strong, yet visually pleasing china. This cup and saucer with its colorful green border was made by the Shenango China Company of New Castle, Pennsylvania.
