What is buffalo china?

Buffalo China, also known as Buffalo Pottery, was a manufacturer of ceramic tableware and utensils based in Buffalo, New York. The company was founded in 1901 and quickly gained a reputation for producing high-quality, durable china that was favored by hotels, restaurants, and railroad dining cars.

Buffalo China's products were known for their simple, elegant designs and durability, making them popular choices for commercial use. The company's most famous line was the "Radiance" dinnerware pattern, which featured a bold, Art Deco-inspired design.

Buffalo China continued to produce tableware until the mid-20th century, when changing consumer preferences and competition from overseas manufacturers led to the decline of the company. The original Buffalo China factory closed in 1955, but the brand was revived in the late 20th century by another company that produces reproductions of the original patterns. Today, vintage Buffalo China pieces are highly sought after by collectors for their historical significance and craftsmanship.
