Swiss Chalet BBQ Chicken - Restaurant China Coffee Cup and Saucer 1970s

Description

A funky old coffee cup and saucer from Swiss Chalet.
This restaurant china is from the Canadian-based rotisserie chicken chain, Swiss Chalet, famous for rotisserie
chicken, and still in operation in Canada, today.  Several locations opened in and around Buffalo, New York, but
eventually closed.  You can find a history of the Swiss Chalet chain on the
buffalonews
and
tayloronhistory
websites.

: Duraline (England)
This particular set of china was probably used at one of the Canadian locations because much of Canadian restaurant china is/was sourced from England.

Date of this restaurant logo:
Swiss Chalet's logo has changed over time.  From what I can find, this china is most likely from the 1970s and possibly into the early 1980s.  YouTube has several vintage TV commercials from the 1970s-1990s that feature this china pattern. In a 1990 TV
commercial, you can see the lettering (fonts) have changed to a more gothic style, but with the same floral decoration. The style of lettering found on my item is likely 1970s or earlier as it can be found on older matchbooks and restaurant ads/menus.  One image I've included is from a 1979 TV commercial and shows the earlier lettering style on the store's street sign.
