History of vintage LuRay Pastels dishes
LuRay Pastels dinnerware was produced from 1938 to 1961 by the Taylor, Smith, and Taylor Company. It was initially available in four pastel colours: Persian Cream, Windsor Blue, Sharon Pink, and Surf Green. A fifth colour (Chatham Gray) was added in 1947 but was discontinued in 1952 due to a lack of popularity. This has made Chatham Gray pieces a challenge for collectors to locate. Pieces are marked with the backstamp "TS&T LuRay Pastels". Very few pieces are unmarked.
