I am from Syracuse NY home of Syracuse China. I believe that at some point Syracuse China made china for home retail sale but that was before my time. They later specialised in restaurant and hotel china. For as long as I shopped there they were almost strictly restaurant and hotel. They used to have a really cool factory outlet store. They sold seconds. I have an awesome collection of plates. My wife doesn't like anything to match. It was perfect going to the factory store and getting seconds from all the restaurants and hotels. We have dinner parties and everyone gets a different plate from a different restaurant and it looks like we traveled the globe stealing place settings. I don't have any plates from Syracuse china like the one Kate has. That is a truly nice piece of china.
