Pattern: Vintage Collectible City Plate, City of Chicago Landmarks
Made in USA
Vintage: 1963 - 1964
Details: This is a beautiful and RARE plate, we tried to find the exact decal but came up empty handed. This plate is part of a very large Souvenir Plate Collection made in the 1950's and 1960's by several potteries like: Homer Laughlin, Vernon Kilns, Salem China Co and others, this plate is unmarked. The plate features landmarks in the Chicago area like the Prudential Building in the center, (completed in 1955). Also shown is the Marina City building, a residential-commercial building designed by architect Bertrand Goldberg, opened in 1963. However, the John Hancock building, completed in 1965, a very famous landmark and most likely would have been included if it was finished. Based on these facts, we dated this plate between 1963 and 1964. This is a great addition to a state/city plate collection. Great gift for someone moving to the city of Chicago, or a birthday gift for someone born in that city. Or collect them for yourself for places you've visited or lived in. We carry several other souvenir plates, please browse the site for more.
