Coventry Dinnerware -What Is It And Who Makes It

Coventry dinnerware is a popular brand and pattern of dining sets that are still made today. However, the name can be confusing because a few dinnerware companies use the word "coventry" in their pattern names and a few different dinnerware manufacturers have trademarked this word. 

To add to the confusion, many places are also referred to as Coventry, including an ancient city in England and cities or towns in Connecticut, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Vermont.

How can you know for sure what is being referenced when someone is talking about Coventry dinnerware? First, context is your biggest clue. 

Manufacturers that Make Coventry Dishes

JCPenney Coventry Sage Dinner Plate

Coventry dinnerware sets the standard in fine table settings with its classic style, durable construction, and premium finish. Coventry's timeless white porcelain design has been gracing the dining tables of weddings, celebrations, and formal dinners for decades. The gentle floral motif and graceful curves adorning Coventry Dinnerware sets lend a stately air to any gathering.

Here are some brands that have made this pattern. 

PTS America

Probably the most recognized distributor of dinnerware referred to Coventry is PTS America. They offer a line of dinnerware under the Coventry brand name. They are also the manufacturer of the 222 Fifth dinnerware brand. PTS has produced many popular dinnerware patterns under the Coventry brand name.

Mikasa 

Mikasa produced a Coventry pattern in dinnerware and glassware, and the Coventry Garden pattern. Both featured floral patterns that were very attractive, but somewhat casual.

Noritake

Noritake once distributed a porcelain dinnerware pattern called Coventry. The pattern featured gold filigree on a bluish, green band. The pattern has been discontinued, but it is available if you shop around.

Royal Doulton

Royal Doulton, a popular producer of English china, produced a Coventry pattern on bone china that featured leaves with gold accents and trim. I have seen this pattern in navy blue, green, and turquoise. It is a unique and delightful pattern.

Royal Worcester 

Another Coventry pattern was made available by Royal Worcester. Royal Worcester is a British brand of dinnerware that is well known for distributing fancy, porcelain fine china, also known as English dinnerware. The Royal Worchester Coventry pattern is simply extravagant with a thick, gold band on white porcelain.

And more

These are just a few of the dinnerware manufacturers that produce or did produce dinnerware that can be referred to as Coventry. There are many more, including manufacturers of Japanese dinnerware and many importers and exporters.

PTS presently produces a dinnerware line under the Coventry brand name which features many lovely patterns. My guess is that this is the line of dinnerware that you are looking for when searching for dinnerware under the Coventry brand name.

How to Shop for Coventry Patterns

If you're searching for the Coventry design and not the brand, you can narrow your search by adding the manufacturer to your search. For example, "Coventry PTS" or "Coventry Mikasa". When shopping online or searching an auction site for vintage pieces, this is a great way to ensure you get the right thing. 

Benefits of Coventry Dinnerware Sets

There are many benefits to purchasing these sets. First, know that they come in more than dinnerware plates. You can also get a coventry salad/dessert plate, mugs and cups, saucers, and even serving dishes or tea sets.
