Vintage Federal Glass Milk Glass Kaffee Klatch Dinner Plate

This item is a vintage mid-century modern dinner plate produced by the Federal Glass Company. It is constructed from opaque white milk glass, a material popular for its durability and smooth texture during the 1950s and 60s. The plate features a distinctive graphic design known as the 'Kaffee Klatch' pattern, which consists of a central medallion printed in black and red. The central illustration depicts various coffee-service items, including a percolator pot, a creamer, a coffee cup on a saucer, and a decorative spoon or agitator. Encircling these icons is a red scalloped or rope-style border and the repeating German phrase 'Kaffee Klatsch.' The outer rim of the plate is finished with a wide, airbrushed black gradient edge (often referred to as 'atomic' or 'faded' trim). Physically, the plate appears to be in good used condition with the screen-printed graphics remaining vibrant and intact. There are no immediate signs of large chips or cracks visible in the photographs, though milk glass of this age often exhibits light surface scratching from utensil use. The bottom of the plate likely bears the Federal Glass 'F' in a shield trademark, common for this era of production. This highly collectible piece represents the Americana kitchenware style of the mid-20th century.
