Vintage Restaurant China Coffee Cups & Mugs

Vintage China Cups, Saucers & Mugs are a great item to collect. It is impossible to know how many different cups are out there so you can always have something to hunt for.

Big restaurant chains and little local joints could have had their logo on cups and mugs. Huge corporations used them in executive dining rooms. You could have also found them on ships, trains and planes. And of course coffee company’s used them to promote their products. So you can see there is no shortage of cups to look for.

A couple of good reference books are Restaurant China Volumes one & two by Barbara J. Conroy.
While searching for cups with logo’s you will also find some very cool generic patterns as well. Most are very affordable and can be used everyday. Also be on the lookout for coffee cans and coffee jars which accessorize your collection nicely.
Happy Hunting.
