Restaurant Ware Collectors Network

Most of us have run across pieces of restaurant ware at estate sales or online. I'm certainly no expert on the topic, but I get questions about it frequently, and I admit I'd like to learn more.

Lucky for us, there are experts out there, and they have a website that may help you solve some of your restaurant ware mysteries. Restaurant Ware Collectors Network offers a forum, a great IDwiki, a fantastic collection of date codes and backstamps photos, and a list of links by category...including restaurant ware shops and eBay sellers, pattern identification and research, personal collections, transportation and military china, and manufacturers.

Here are a few examples of what you can find on the site. It's worth a look.
