8164d. (souvenir plate) c.1900. A rare, bright, gilt edged commemorative plate featuring a beautiful clear, full color hand painted image of the “ Portland Head Lighthouse, Portland , Maine. ”. One of only a few like this that I have had, this attractive plate has a quite detailed image as if from a painting, of the tall white masonry tower with attached keeper’s dwelling, fog whistle building and more. This beautiful display piece measures 7 1/8” in diameter and is enhanced by a petite decorative gilt trim around the edge. Nice painting quality image makes this a striking piece. Marked “Jonroth Made in Germany for J. W. Peterson, Portland , Me. ” Very little wear, a striking display piece and quite rare. (VG+). $98 net.
