1950s | Buffalo China Side Plates
Understated yet undeniably iconic, this Buffalo China green band plate embodies the quiet strength of American industrial design. Crafted from durable vitrified porcelain, its clean ivory glaze and double green line detailing evoke the timeless aesthetic of 20th-century diners, railways, and refined utilitarian tableware.
Each piece tells a story of craftsmanship and endurance — from hotel dining rooms to transcontinental trains — designed to withstand decades of daily use while maintaining its crisp, dignified beauty. Its weight and balance feel deliberate, made not merely to serve but to endure and elevate the everyday ritual of dining.
