Fishs Eddy, stylized with no apostrophe, is a dinnerware, flatware and glassware retailer originally based in Gramercy Park, NY that specialized in found dishes and serving pieces.
History[edit]
Fishs Eddy was founded in 1986, when founders and current owners Julie Gaines and David Lenovitz got lost in Upstate New York and stumbled upon a small town of the same name.[1] Gaines and Lenovitz discovered an old barn during that trip that had stockpiled restaurant dishware that had survived a fire. They offered to buy the whole lot, took it back to their apartment in Manhattan and used the inventory to open a store near Union Square.[2]
Aesthetic[edit]
Fishs Eddy is known for offering archive and antique dinnerware, including plates and cups purchased from American Airlines and the Syracuse China Corporation.[3][4] The company also produces some of its own dinnerware. [citation needed]
