What a great idea -- selling remainders of kitschy, custom-designed china left over from yesteryear. Ever wanted a dish that really says "Blue Plate Special"? Or how about a coffee mug with the terse logo "Cup o' Joe to Go"? The store is Browse Heaven, and prices on its American industrial china are low enough. The store's own designs are equally wonderful, especially its New York skyline line. Other items for sale include basic vintage and retro-inspired flatware, heavy crockery bowls, and classic restaurant-supply glassware that can be hard to find in regular stores, like soda-fountain and pint glasses.
