In 1988, Syracuse China/Vandesca wanted a product to compete with Lenox's white-bodied china. The company imported similar Japanese Biscuit-ware which was decorated and glazed at the Canadian plant. A small amount of "custom" work was decorated at the Mayer plant while it was in operation and later at the Court Street plant.

The imported product was called Royal Rideau and was back stamped as such in Canada. The same product was called Luxor in the United States and back stamped as Luxor Mayer. The china served the upscale market. It was used for the Parliament and Chateau shapes.

Problems arose with the product when it was discovered that the dimensions of the bisque were inconsistent. In 1993, the ceramic engineers at the "revived" laboratory at Syracuse China, directed by Roger Markell, developed its own "bright white" high alumina body using clay imported from England. At that time, the Luxor name was dropped and Royal Rideau was used instead.

When the Mayer Pottery plant closed, the production shifted to the Syracuse plant and the backstamp was changed to Royal Rideau Fine China, Syracuse China Company
