Liberty Blue Independence Hall Commemorative China Plate
This is a circular ceramic dinner or decorative plate featuring a classic blue and white transferware design. The central motif depicts Philadelphia's Independence Hall in intricate detail, complete with the iconic steeple, surrounding trees, and colonial figures including a horse-drawn carriage in the foreground. The plate is constructed from white ironstone or porcelain with a scalloped edge and a wide border featuring a dense, repeating floral pattern of wild roses and foliage. The tonality is a deep cobalt 'Old Britain' blue against a creamy white background. Based on the pattern, this is likely part of the 'Liberty Blue' series produced in the mid-1970s for the United States Bicentennial (circa 1975-1976), manufactured by Enoch Wedgwood in the Staffordshire region of England. The transfer application shows high-quality stippling and line work with minimal bleeding. The condition appears excellent with a clear, glossy glaze and no visible chips, cracks, or heavy crazing in the photograph. The craftsmanship reflects traditional English mass-production techniques for commemorative tableware, intended for both daily use and display.
