1948 Prelude - Open a bright new chapter"

Open a bright new chapter in your dining traditions...  Prelude

"When you're serving late Sunday breakfast or afternoon tea, Prelude's gaiety and Prelude's grace add the perfect touch... If it's merriment at midday you're planning, build your plan around Prelude... And for a dinner that's both friendly and formal, reap a new crop of praises with your Prelude. Sleek, contemporary lines, the casual freshness of  hand-carved, hand-painted flowers - here's a combination to give you undreamed of dinnerware versatility... Prelude is planned for versatility - planned to add to the casual charm of Provincial, planned to blend with the directness of Contemporary... And Prelude is designed to help you bring new friendliness to your table, at any time of day or night"
