University of Chicago Plate by Spode

Although Wedgwood produced far more college plates for the US market, Spode also made a small but significant contribution, including this series of twelve plates issued in 1931 for the University of Chicago. The custom designed border is composed of Gothic architectural decoration, with three small vignettes of the University surrounded by ivy.  Most of the plates were transfer printed in black, although I have seen pictures of them in blue (photo below; I'd like to BUY any plate in blue!)  Approximately 10.5 inches in diameter. All of these are now SOLD.  

Other views include:  Harper Memorial Library (shown above), Billings Memorial Hospital, Cobb Hall, Eckhart Hall, Harper Court, Hull Court, Ida Noyes Hall, Swift Hall/Bond Chapel, Hutchinson Court/Mitchell Tower, Ryerson Laboratory, Snell/Hitchcock Halls, and University Chapel.
