COLLECTION #224: Vintage Souvenir Plates Part 2

Although I have shared my souvenir plates in a previous collection,  I've since added to my collection enough that makes a whole new collection- 3 more plates. So, I just shot a new photo of the entire group! I hope you enjoy these awesome souvenir plates of places as diverse as the Mohawk Trail, Nauvoo Illinois, Salt Lake City, Texas, West Virginia, and California, plus two from Oregon.

COLLECTION #171: Blue and White Plates

 I love blue and white dishes of all kinds, and you might have noticed in past posts here, here, here, and here. But today, I thought it would be fantabulous to feature just my plates. Each one is a little different, and together they look wonderful, if I do say so myself!

I have two Christmas plates from the early '70s: a Royal Copenhagen from 1973, and a Bing & Grondahl from 1972. I have another B&G from 1973 but it is packed away. (There's just not room, if you can believe it!)  I also have a cute souvenir plate from Washington DC, a fun heart shaped plate, a calico plate, a souvenir plate from Texas, a reproduction souvenir plate from Nauvoo, a fun snowman plate, a sweet little white plate with a blue and white flowered border, and a vintage looking Currier and Ives scene plate, that is part of my very first china I purchased for myself in 1976.

COLLECTION #77: Vintage Souvenir Plates

Ah, another category I'm not sure exactly what to call.... these are those lovely souvenir plates from various states, points of interest, etc. Actually I have several more, but they must be packed away somewhere. (sigh) So, I'll have to go with what I have!  All of my plates are old except for one. The white and blue Nauvoo plate on the left side is a reproduction. The original is from the mid-1800s, and if I had the real thing, I could retire!  I love my Utah plate... it is actually quite old, I think it's from the 30s. It was made in England by Staffordshire. The other 3- Mohawk Trail, Texas and Oregon, are probably from the 40s or 50s. I haven't exactly made the effort to study these plates and their history! They are from Vernon Kilns, who manufactured many of these souvenir plates. If I find out any additional information, I'll be sure to update this post! So, I hope you enjoy looking at my fun plates!
