What customers say
The Syracuse China Carousel Bread and Butter Plate earns high praise for its exceptional durability and strong nostalgic appeal. Customers consistently note its institutional grade quality, describing the plates as virtually indestructible, resisting chips even after years of heavy use. This robust construction reinforces its reputation as true restaurant ware. The classic Carousel pattern appeals greatly to collectors seeking authentic mid-century modern aesthetics.

Know before you buy
This plate measures 6 3/8 inches in diameter, which is the standard size for a bread and butter service.
No, this vintage piece is not safe for use in the microwave, oven, freezer, or dishwasher. We recommend hand washing to preserve the integrity of the ceramic and the abstract floral pattern.
This item is sold as a single, individual piece. It is an excellent choice if you are looking to replace a missing item from your existing Carousel collection or want to add a unique accent piece to your table.
A coupe shape means the plate has a smooth, continuous curve from the center to the edge without a traditional raised rim. This gives the plate a modern, minimalist silhouette that highlights the abstract floral design.
While crafted from durable ceramic, this plate is not chip-resistant by modern standards. Because it is a vintage piece from 1966, it should be handled with care to avoid accidental damage.
