Restoration Hardware “The New Yorker” Cartoon Cheese Plates – Set of 8

Vintage Restoration Hardware “The New Yorker” cartoon cheese or appetizer plates featuring humorous black-and-white illustrations licensed from The Cartoon Bank, the archive associated with The New Yorker magazine. Each porcelain plate displays a whimsical wine and cheese themed cartoon scene with classic red and black rim detailing, capturing the sophisticated humor associated with New Yorker cartoons. Originally produced by Restoration Hardware in the late 1990s–early 2000s as part of their collectible tabletop collections. This lot includes eight plates, exceeding the original six-plate retail sets.

Measurements (Approximate):
• Plates: approximately 8” diameter

Condition: Very good vintage condition with light surface wear consistent with prior use. No major cracks observed. Minor utensil marks possible from normal use.

Historical Note: Restoration Hardware produced several collectible tabletop series during the late 1990s and early 2000s featuring licensed artwork from The Cartoon Bank, the official licensing arm for The New Yorker magazine’s iconic cartoons. These humorous wine-and-cheese themed appetizer plates have since been discontinued and remain popular among collectors of New Yorker memorabilia and vintage barware.

Estimated Value: $95
