WEDGWOOD College
Plates
Wedgwood issued
its first set of College Plates in 1927, 12 views of Harvard University in
blue. They chose a Fruit and Flower border that had been used on Harvard
dIning hall china c.1840. The following year, a set of twelve plates was
issued for Saint Paul's Preparatory School in Concord, New Hampshire, many
of whose graduates go on to college at Harvard. A border featuring
Oak leaves, acorns and squirrels was chosen to reflect the rural nature of
this boys' school. Several other schools had plates issued in 1929,
and by 1930 these plates had proved so popular that most prestigous colleges
were having them made.
In most cases,
these plates were issued in series of eight or twelve views for each school,
and, in many cases, a school will have plates in more than one color or more
than one series. When I have more than one plate in a series, I show
a representative plate below, along with a link to a page showing the other
plates that I have in that series.
Wedgwood also made plates for the following schools. I do not have
any of these in stock, but you can click on the name of the school to see
photos.
Please inquire if interested; I will keep your name on file in case plates
become available.
