{"product_id":"wedgwood-old-state-house-boston-blue-white-plate","title":"Wedgwood Old State House Boston Blue and White Ceramic Plate","description":"\u003cp\u003eBoston's Old State House sits within a rose-and-foliage border on this blue and white Wedgwood plate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe architectural view is supported by a reverse inscription identifying the building and recording its restoration in 1910. A verse attributed in the inscription to Longfellow adds a second commemorative element. The restoration year is retained as the event named on the plate, not presented as the date when the plate itself is made. Wedgwood's maker wording identifies the English ceramic producer, while the subject places the piece within American architectural commemoratives. The wide floral frame contrasts with the straight lines of the building and gives the plate a clear display outline. Fine glaze crazing on the reverse remains visible and forms part of the condition record.
