Designed by William Pahlmann, its theatrical interiors made even the smallest tabletop details part of the experience.

This off-white china dish carries the restaurant’s gold emblem and distinctive lettering, lending classical character to its simple round silhouette. Dating approximately to the 1960s, it offers a tangible connection to Manhattan’s mid-century restaurant culture.

The underside identifies Mayer China Company of Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania, as the supplier, with a backstamp noting that the piece was made expressly for The Forum. Display it with restaurant memorabilia or give it a new role as a small jewelry catchall on a bedside table.

Measures approximately 3.75” across and 0.75” tall. Sold individually.

In very good vintage condition, with light wear consistent with age and restaurant use. See less
