Here's a gorgeous 1939 art-deco New York World's Fair souvenir plate decorated by Charles Murphy

150th Anniversary inauguration of George Washington as First President of the United States 17890-1939.

The porcelain plate was made by Homer Laughlin. 10" diameter

On reverse, underglaze green: (monogram logo) "HLCC / HOMER LAUGHLIN / MADE IN USA". Gilded, printed in convex semi-circle: "DECORATION BY CHARLES MURPHY / 150th ANNIVERSARY / INAUGURATION / [horizontal] OF / GEORGE WASHINGTON / -AS- / FIRST PRESIDENT / OF THE UNITED STATES / [concave semi-circle] 1789-1939"

It has a little bit of color fading on the rim, but other than that, this plate is excellent!
