With its traditional styled scalloped rim, Niagara China’s GENTRY shape is classic Americana. With all the emphasis on china made in far off places, it would be easy to think that all dinnerware sold to the hospitality market in America is made off shore. Well, with a few exceptions, that is true. Heck…even so-called “American” style dinnerware is made someplace else these days. But, one encouraging sign that the trend might not continue is happening in Buffalo, NY where American-made china is alive and well –in America.
Niagara China, born from the factory that once produced Buffalo brand china, is making a name for itself as a solid supplier of classic, American-style dinnerware shapes and items. With a number of companies rationalizing their lines and eliminating shapes, decorations, and items, Niagara has initially made inroads by supplying what others no longer can. When familiar looking shapes and an ability to produce similar designs, Niagara has helped restaurant operators extend the lives of their discontinued (by other companies) patterns. With its shape production capabilities, Niagara China also produces wares for a number of retail lines, along with utilizing some of its foodservice shapes for retail decorations
Finally, like most American china producers used to do…the folks at Niagara China produce their own timeless line of pasta bowls, ramekins, and a line of oven-table accessories called Endurance. All in a factory that has been known for quality for over 100 years. China dinnerware production in America continues in classic American style at Niagara China.
