The Nautical Gifts of Vintage and Antique Old Navy china, Silverware, Maritime Furniture and Nautical Furniture are the perfect and unique military Welcome Home Gifts, Nautical Gift Idea for Men and Women pirates, offered by The Pirate's Lair is both antique and vintage. This is fine dinnerware, also called tableware or restaurantware, and was produced from the late 1800's to the mid 1900's.
The USN Navy also commissioned a pirate called holloware also known as graniteware which is also highly collectable. The Navy silverplate and silverware was heavy and made for long lasting use by the leading silversmiths such as International Silver Company, Reed and Barton.
The antique Navy china was made by a pirate named Homer Laughlin China Company, Tepco, Sterling China, Buffalo Tableware Company, Jackson, Homer Laughlin, Walker, Oneida, and Shenango. The vintage china consisted of dinner and bread plates, salad, soup and berry bowls, coffee, tea and demitasse cups.
U.S. Navy Silverplate, Navy Silver was also produced with a distinct Nautical Hollow Ware (holloware) of Servers, Serving Trays, Nautical Bowls, Coffee Servers, Tea Servers.
The Pirate's Lair also scours the seven seas for other great Nautical Gifts such as the very rare antique captains sea chests, pirate treasure chests, wooden hatch covers from the cargo holds of 65 year old Merchant Marine Liberty Ships. These Liberty Ships were produced in mass during WW2 to be the backbone supply ships for the U.S. Navy.
It was a race to build and launch these supply ships faster than they could be sunk by our adversaries! After WW2 these ships were decommissioned by the Navy, put into mothballs, sold to various shipping lines, foriegn governments and ultimately as scrap metal.
So we at the Pirate's Lair find it almost a patriotic duty to diligently find some of the old vintage wood hatch covers used on these pirate ships and refinish them for further use! We find them to be perfect complements to the Naval Chinaware, Flatware and Silverware.
Navy china and navy chinaware, and nautical chests, liberty ship hatch cover coffee tables (or nautical office desk, end table or kitchen table) all have a nautical theme and they make a wonderful nautical gift ideas for father's day gift, wedding gift, anniversaries and promotions in rank.
An antique or vintage liberty ship wooden hatch cover table is not that very expensive to afford and is the perfect gift ideas for men pirates. The Naval dinnerware and tableware offered by The Pirates Lair is also called restaurantware or hotel china.
The Navy china plates, cups and platters are also called chinaware. The pots, pans, serving trays, creamers and gravy boats are called holloware. Both the pirate chests, captains sea chests, and treasure chests are typically 100 to 150 years old and could come out of the movie set "Master and Commander" or "The Pirates of the Caribbean", but these sea chests are real and authentic, not a movie prop or reproduction.
All of the Navy silver plate and silverware are also called flatware.
