Food Service Division

Thank you for visiting the food service section of the Pickard Web site. Pickard China is an American manufacturer of fine china dinnerware, originating in 1893, a time when craftsmen fashioned each item with concern and artistic care. Four generations of the Pickard family have carried on this heritage and dedication to excellence.

This same dedication is extended in our commitment to the food service industry. Our distinctive shapes and elegant designs speak eloquently for themselves as they grace the tables of the nation's finest hotels, Fortune 500 board rooms, state mansions, country clubs and leading universities. Pickard caters to that niche of special clientele looking for elegant, upscale dinnerware. You will find our quality impeccable, our lead times excellent and our delivery on schedule. Our service is second to none.

The result is a superb product and proven track record of dependability that has earned us our reputation as the maker of America's Finest China.

Pickard china is hand crafted by skilled American artisans and is the exclusive manufacturer of the dinnerware for all U.S. embassies throughout the world.
