Item Description

60 piece dinnerware set for 12. Plate, bowl, cup, saucer and salad bowl.

The famous Autumn Leaf pattern, is one of the most-popular vintage china patterns in America. The many and varied dinnerware pieces, produced by the Hall China Company, were sold door-to-door by Jewel Tea Company salesmen for many years. Numerous accessory pieces, including metal, paper, plastic, cloth and glass items were also offered.

These beautiful dishes were often the centerpiece of family dinners and bring back many wonderful memories of our mothers, grandmothers, aunts or neighbors. Special memories of helping Grandma make pudding in the custard cups, setting the table with Mom’s “good dishes,” or smelling the wonderful aroma of fresh coffee and tea that was delivered directly to our homes continue to remind us of many happy times with our loved ones.

The NALCC offers a full-color newsletter six times per year, special commemorative Autumn Leaf items, many options for adding to your own collection, an Autumn Leaf Price Guide, a popular National Convention with an Autumn Leaf/Jewel Tea Show & Sale, Autumn Leaf Auction and much fun and fellowship with collectors from across the United States.

Item Special Note

Autumn Leaf Care Instructions

Chinaware

It's indestructible as far as the sun goes.Never put the china into the dishwasher because that will take off the gold.Autumn Leaf china should be treated like other fine china, just hand-wash it a couple of times a year with liquid dish soap and hand-dry. Try adding ¼ cup of vinegar to your wash water to reduce the soap film on your china and glassware.When stacking your chinaware, place a barrier, such as felt, very thin bubble wrap cut to size, paper plates or paper napkins, in between each piece. This method prevents stacking marks. You can protect covered dishes, teapots and coffeepots the same way where the lid contacts the rim.
