Canada

Representative of type of tableware used in CP Hotels in Canada. Oneida and Château Frontenac hotel have been in business together since at least 1955. CP hotels were first constructed in the 19th c. to serve the railway clientele in the Rockies and some, like the Château Frontenac hotel, became Canadian landmarks. The Château Frontenac was constructed in 1893 and was the first hotel to be designated as Château. This creamer is also probably of Canadian manufacture, made at Oneida's Niagara Falls factory. Oneida Canada has it's roots in the Oneida Community , founded in upstate New York in 1848. This group believed in sharing and working equally and began to manufacture a variety of products, including flatware. The Community dissolved in the 1880s, but a joint stock company- Oneida Community, Ltd.- was formed to manage the group's businesses. In 1917 a factory was built at Niagara Falls. for the manufacturing of flatware: it was replaced by a larger facility in 1926. In 1999, the Niagara Falls facility ceased to operate as a manufacturing plant, and was used as a distribution centre. (Ref. 1)

Technique

Stainless steel was introduced in 1913. Most of the standard grades were developed between 1913-1935. ( After World War II, new grades were needed for jet aircraft which led to the development of precipitation hardening grades that had a better weight-to-strength ratio.) Tableware in hotels and restaurants used to be silver or silver plated because it is more prestigious. Oneida first introduced stainless steel flatware, then holloware at the end of the 1960s. By then, stainless steel had improved in quality. The new material allowed the manufacture of cheaper products; was easier to maintain; and could continue being produced, if required, featuring a traditional pattern. [Ref. 1]
