Set of 5 Tepco China USA 6 oz. Coffee Cups - Restaurant Ware ~ Vintage Diner Coffee Mugs Tan (Sunglow) colored stoneware china with no decorative ornamentation. Each cup is signed with the TEPCO China, U.S.A stamp on the bottom. These Tepco coffee mugs hold 6 fluid oz. filled to the brim. They are nice and thick and heavy. Two fingers fits nicely through the handle so they are comfortable to hold and drink out of. The glaze is in very good condition. These mugs were from a dealer's personal collection and are in EXCELLENT condition. History of TEPCO China: TEPCO, or Technical Porcelain and China Ware Company, a major West Coast producer of decorative, durable hotel and restaurant ware in El Cerrito, CA from about 1930 until its closure in 1968. TEPCO supplied not only the hospitality industry, but had contracts with the U.S. government to produce ware for the Navy, Army and Veterans Administration, and was, for years, El Cerrito’s largest employer. Potter John Pagliero, who immigrated to the United States from Italy in 1905, founded TEPCO in 1918 while working at a Richmond porcelain plant. Around that time he left his job to grow TEPCO, eventually building a factory on Kearney Street and Manila Avenue in El Cerrito—where the DMV stands today. Early TEPCO dishware was thick with wide rims and minimal decoration, like bands, but over time the company improved its production methods and manufactured thinner ware with narrow, or even no, rims—allowing for extensive design patterns, accomplished by airbrushing, transfers or decals. TEPCO produced an exhaustive line. Footed Salads, Coupe Soups, Pot Pies, Chop Suey Comports, Celery Trays and French Welsh Rarebits represent only a small portion of its catalog, which included 13 coffee cup styles! ### Because of the vintage nature of the items in this shop all sales are final. All the vintage items are sold in 'as is' condition. I do my best to describe all items accurately with text and photos. Please feel free to ask as many questions as you need before purchasing any item. Thank you, Alisa
