RARE Vendome Hotel Shinango China Plate Bowl Teacup Saucer Set Discontinued VTG For Sale

VERY RARE! I acquired this set 26 years ago and have searched for other matching pieces since but have not found even one item for sale. I have also tried researching many hotels and restaurants with the name Vendome but have not found a match. Shenango manufactured dinnerware for hotels and restaurants from 1913 to 1991. They were located in New Castle, Pennsylvania. There was a Hotel Vendome in New Castle once that was sold to the city's Rescue Mission in 1924. Since Shinango manufactured large quantities of dinnerware for hotels, restaurants and institutions all over the world (including the White House), it is hard to say whether or not there is a connection.Even if you are not interested in buying, comments and response are welcome.No chips, scratches or cracks. Questions are welcome.
After initial listing, this note came in:Just wanted to let you know, these came from the Hotel Vendome in Evansville, Indiana.Hope that helps.
