The perfect gift idea for that special U.S. Coast Guardsman be it a retirement gift for an enlisted Chief Petty Officer, as a promotion gift for a Coast Guard Officer, or even as a Graduation Gift for a Midshipman about to start his or her career in the United States Coast Guard. Also very appropriate as a fathers day or mothers day present, for a brother or sister in the Coast Guard, a husband or wife who wants to give a unique and personalized present! The offered USCG China Plates, Dishes, Cups, Saucers, Knives, Forks and Spoons are all vintage 1925-1975 and used by the Coast Guard during WW2, Korea and Vietnam!
While The Pirate's Lair has an extensive inventory of available USCG Coast Guard dinnerware which can be purchased online via our shopping cart, or you can email or call us at 800-326-5051! However, please keep in mind that everything is on a first come, first serve basis and that this USCG Dinnerware is VERY RARE and does not last "for sale" for very long!
Photo to the left shows the ca 1965-1989 Coast Guard China pattern of a rich burgandy stripe between two green stripes with a crisp burgandy USCG Coast Guard Insignia. Also shown in the second photograph is USCG Silverplated Flatware. Before and during WW2 the US Coast Guard used plain white Coast Guard China with a blue insiginia (or topmark) which consited of crossed fluked Anchors and a Shield centered over the anchors. Then right after WW2 through the 50's and early 60's the Coast Guard changed the china pattern to 2 light green rings, 1 burnt orange ring and a burnt orange insignia.
The below Information and Ordering Table provides a complete list of available USCG Coast Guard dinner plates, salad plates, bread plates, relish dishes, bowls, cups and saucers.
Of Special Note: This 40+ year old vintage USCG Coast Guard china tableware was hand crafted, hand glazed, hand dipped, hand stenciled, and they just don't make it like they used to!
Unfortunately, the US Coast Guard discontinued this time honored tradition of issuing this beautiful vintage china in the mid-1960's after the manufacturer's supplies ran out, and it was never replaced. This further makes Coast Guard china a great investment! Currently only small quantities of this fine china can be found. The Pirate's Lair scours the world to obtain the best pieces to be found and makes them available to you.
Ironically, today individual Coast Guard Officers and Commanders now purchase this vintage USCG china from The Pirate's Lair for use in their present-day wardrooms and formal dining-in's! Coast Guard Officers can now use and enjoy the same Coast Guard dinnerware and Coast Guard silverware used by their bretheren of long ago!
