O.P.CO. Syracuse China (Onondaga Pottery Co.) of Syracuse, New York was one of the major US suppliers of heavy-weight commercial restaurant ware topmarked logo china to railroads, steamships, hotels & diners and company cafeterias as well as all branches of the US Military. Decorating techniques such as applied decalomania / transferware, hand painting, gold vermeil and airbrush / shadowtone were used. Fine china production ceased circa 1971, but production of restaurant grade china continued. In the Mid-1980's Syracuse China acquires Shenango Pottery Co. of New Castle,PA. The Shenango plant was shuttered & operations moved to Syracuse. Recently, Syracuse China closed their doors & moved all operations overseas.

Styrafoam packaging protects your item better than most other methods & also reduces packed weight, in most cases reducing shipping cost & eliminating the chance of receiving your fragile item(s) in more pieces than expected. REST ASSURED...... Unlike sellers who ship fragile items with inadequate packaging *i.e. crumpled paper which does not protect fragile items well & often results in shipping costs being at the next pound increment, fragile items are professionally packaged at no additional cost to buyer with bubble wrap and lightweight styrafoam materials & to anticipate the worst postal/carrier handling.
