The Great American Revolution 1776 Bicentennial Commemorative Pewter and Porcelain Plate

This is a commemorative collector's plate featuring a dual-material construction of a wide pewter rim surrounding a circular porcelain or ceramic center medallion. The rim is embossed with the capitalized text 'THE GREAT AMERICAN REVOLUTION' across the top and '1776' at the bottom, flanked by two sets of three five-pointed stars. The central insert displays a multi-color transfer print depicting a historical scene, likely the signing of the Declaration of Independence, showing various figures in colonial attire around a table. The plate appears to be approximately 9 to 10 inches in diameter. The pewter has a matte, brushed finish typical of 20th-century decorative metalwork, while the porcelain center has a high-glaze finish. Based on the subject matter, this item was likely produced in the mid-1970s (circa 1976) to celebrate the United States Bicentennial. The condition appears fair to good; there is visible surface wear and light scratching on the pewter rim consistent with age and stacking. There is also potential tarnishing or minor pitting typical of pewter alloys and some grime buildup in the recessed lettering. The central ceramic piece appears intact with no visible cracks or crazing from the provided angle.
