The Mimbreño dinnerware made for and used by the El Tovar Lodge at the Grand Canyon is now available to the public! This restaurant quality dinnerware is made in Arizona and has a long story behind it.
Over a thousand years ago, the Mimbreño Indians created their pottery with intricate geometric designs and whimsical depictions of the wildlife and natural surroundings they cherished. Their artistry, filled with humor and creativity, brought to life unique images such as The March Hare in the Moon, The Bird with Four Fish Stuck in Its Neck, and animals decorated with elaborate patterns. Some of these striking designs were originally found on ancient Mimbreño bowls.
Centuries later, renowned architect and designer Mary Colter drew inspiration from Mimbreño artwork to create a distinctive china pattern for the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe Railways elite Super Chief Two dining cars. Colter, best known for her architectural contributions to the Fred Harvey Company—including iconic Grand Canyon structures like the Hopi House, Hermit’s Rest, Lookout Studio, and Desert View Watchtower—crafted 37 unique Mimbreño-style drawings to adorn the dinnerware. Today, original Santa Fe Railway Mimbreño dinnerware is a prized collector’s item.

- A "clear coat" on top of each Mimbreño piece has been added. While guarding well against metal utensil marks, the clear coat may slightly scratch under heavy abrasion. We recommend putting a napkin, or spacer, underneath bowls and plates when nesting in order to keep the foot of one piece from scratching the top of another piece.
