4pc Wedgwood Historical American Blue Transferware Plates

This set of four blue and white transfer-printed earthenware souvenir plates features various scenes from American history.

The central scenes are framed by a wide, dense border of floral motifs, including roses and peonies. The reverse of each plate bears multiple blue printed marks, including the Wedgwood name, "Etruria England," and the circular logo for Jones, McDuffee & Stratton Co. Several plates include specific historical descriptions and copyright dates. All pieces in this collection include a provenance sticker from the Rubin Collection on the reverse.
