Blue and White Historical Souvenir Plate. The Boston Plate has depictions of some of Boston's most historical sites. The center of the plate has a depiction of Faneuil Hall. The outer rim has 6 historical sites including, The State House, The Old State House, Bunker Hill Monument, Paul Revere House, The Old North Church and The U.S.S. Constitution "Old Ironsides". The back of the plate has a Boston Baked Bean Pot. There is a ribbon with The Boston Plate written across it. It bears the Old Staffordshire Ware JONROTH mark of the Adams Potteries of Staffordshire England, and the name of the distributing company in Winchester, Massachusetts. Adams ended their 61 year relationship with JONROTH in 1966. Do to the marks and the distributing company, I believe this plate is circa 1950 - 1960.
The plate is approximately 9 7/8" wide. It is in excellent condition. No chips. No cracks. No crazing. A great edition to any collection.
