A striking piece of Australian commemorative history, this circa-1938 Royal Doulton display plate celebrates the 1788–1938 Sesquicentenary. Its colorful central scene depicts Captain Cook’s landing at Botany Bay, surrounded by Sydney Harbour Bridge, native floral motifs and the heraldic emblems of Australia, New South Wales and Sydney.Made in England and marked for Prouds Pty. Ltd., Sydney, the plate features an unusually detailed historical chronology on its reverse. The softly shaped rim and gold-colored edging give it an elegant cabinet-display presence. A surviving Colwell and Jennings shop label from Fredericton, New Brunswick adds another interesting detail to its history.An appealing addition to a Royal Doulton, Australiana, maritime-history or historical commemorative collection. Please examine all photographs for surface condition and rim details.
