This small plate carries the restaurant’s distinctive gold emblem and typography, a nod to the Roman-inspired grandeur that made the establishment famous in the mid-20th century.

Produced by Mayer China Company of Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania, a respected maker of durable restaurant china used in hotels and dining rooms across the United States. The off-white porcelain body is finished with warm gold detailing and the iconic Forum crest, creating a charming piece of restaurant history that feels both decorative and collectible.

Originally designed as a butter pat, the piece works beautifully today as a small catchall dish, salt cellar, jewelry tray, or bar garnish plate.

Measures approximately 3.75” across.

In very good vintage condition with light wear consistent with age and restaurant use. Backstamp reads “Made expressly for The Forum – Furnished by Mayer China Co., Beaver Falls, PA.”

A fun decorative addition for New York restaurant memorabilia collectors, mid-century barware displays, or classic entertaining collections. See less
