13201b. (souvenir dish) Mayo’s Beach Light and Keeper’s dwelling, Wellfleet, Mass. c.1900. A rare, bright, gilt decorated rose and crème colored commemorative plate featuring a beautiful clear, detailed b/w image of the lighthouse at Mayo’s Beach. One of the few of this rare lighthouse that I have found, this striking piece measures 6” in diameter and is enhanced by a decorative gilded border. The unusually detailed image includes all aspects of the new cast iron tower and brick and clapboard keeper’s house built in 1881. This light station as shown, remained in service until it was discontinued on March 10, 1922. The light station property was sold at auction on August 1, 1923, to Capt. Harry Capron. Nice detailed image on the bright china piece and rose coloration make a good contrast on this rare item. Marked “Carlsbad BFHS China Made in Austria [for] P.W. Higgins, Wellfleet, Mass. Made in Austria”. Quite clean, bright, wear to gilding on border. A beautiful display piece. Unusually bold view of this little-known Cape Cod lighthouse. (VG-). $148.
