Dinnerware Made in USA

If you are looking for dinnerware made in USA you will find that the selections are somewhat limited, but being dedicated to buying American-made products is a highly respected notion and something that I totally support.

I have found that some companies who started out manufacturing dinnerware in the USA eventually went out of business, sold or moved their production to another country for production savings.  I find that disappointing.  Supporting manufacturers in the United States makes it more likely that American production will continue.

You may find some recommendations of dinnerware made in the USA, but it is always good to double check before you buy to assure that it is still made in America.  It is not uncommon in the dinnerware industry for dinnerware brands to be sold, for production to be moved to another country, or for American-based dinnerware companies include imported items in their dinnerware line.

Franciscan dinnerware was once produced in the United States, but that is one of the companies that sold and production was moved abroad.  Vintage Franciscan most likely was made in America. 

In general, the back stamp tells the story of the origin of the dinnerware that you are considering.  American producers of dinnerware happily stamp "Made in U.S.A" on the back or bottom of their dinnerware, although with some items, like pottery, back stamping is not very practical.       

I have heard that some American manufacturers import some pieces offered in their dinnerware sets so you might want to check with the company direct before assuming that all of the pieces are American made. 

Also, some carry various brands, some products made abroad and some American made. 

I'm constantly on the lookout for dinnerware made in USA.  As I find more, I will happily share the news.  Personally, I would like to see more manufacturing of products in the USA.  In order to experience that, it is vital that more Americans become dedicated to purchase products that are made in the USA.
