Syracuse China in the Webster pattern. This pattern was originally designed for the Fred Harvey Company, which operated restaurants and hotels along the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad. The pattern features a creamy white base with a black and gold floral, leaf, and swag border design. The Webster pattern was patented in May 1938 by D. Bourne and was available as both fine china and commercial china. The Syracuse China Company closed its doors in 2009, ending a 138-year legacy of ceramic production.
