Canadian Pacific Hotel cup & saucer with small bowl

Made by Grindley Hotelware company. 
"Duraline" super vitrified. 
Dates from the 1960's - 1970's

I don't know what this patterned is called.  I was told it may have been used in the hotels operated by the Canadian Pacific.

Red Cross Teacup. World War One

I came across this unique Red Cross teacup today at a thrift store in Ottawa. 
A reliable source informed me that this may have come from a Canadian Red Cross tea room in a hospital. 
Any additional information about this piece would be appreciated. 
I just found out this is a "feeding cup" used by the Red Cross during wartime. 
Solders injured or unable to feed themselves were fed food with Red Criss cups like this one

CN (Canadian National) Hotels bowl

I currently have eight of these dessert bowls.
An ideal size for dessert.  This bowl was made by Corning for Canadian National Hotels. 


Syracuse Liberty Dish.

Measures 9 1/4 inches wide. 



AIR CANADA Cup and Saucer by Royal Doulton

I currently have two matching sets of this set. 




My collection is too big

I've been collecting many dishes, plates, cups, saucers, creamers, mugs, bowls, and other dinnerware for many years now.  Almost all of my collection comes from visits to the local thrift stores in the Ottawa, Ontario area.
My collection is mainly hotel, restaurant , airline, railroad, and diner style china.
Manufacturers in my collection include, Syracuse China, Buffalo China, Grindley, Sovereign Potters,
Royal Doulton, Vandesca, Syralite, and many more.

My inventory of restaurant quality dinnerware is getting too large. So I will be posting photos of the
items I intend to sell or trade.
