International Museum of Dinnerware Design Director Margaret Carney shows a set of art-deco streamlined ceramic dinnerware designed by Don Schreckengost for the Salem China Company at the museum at 524 Broadway, in Midtown, Kingston, N.Y., on Oct. 14, 2024. The dinnerware sets were given to women who went to movies during the 1930s, Carney said. A new piece of the set was given weekly to women with their movie tickets and was intended to improve both the fortunes of dinnerware and increase movie ticket sales at a time when people tightened their belts in the midst of the Great Depression, she said.
