Crafted in the early 1900s by the esteemed Rowland & Marsellus Co. of Staffordshire, England, this collectible piece is part of their series of American historical souvenir plates.

The central vignette honors Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry with the towering Perry Memorial (1813–1913), surrounded by scenic and historic sites including:

- Perry Park and Cannon
- Perry’s Cave
- Steamer "Put-in-Bay"
- “Com. Perry Transferring His Flag – Sept. 10, 1813” naval scene

Beautifully bordered in floral garlands and scrollwork, the plate captures the pride and elegance of Edwardian-era patriotic keepsakes. A blue underglaze backstamp reads:
“The Rowland & Marsellus Co., Staffordshire England, Made & Imported by Herbster Bay.” It comes ready to display with a vintage plate hanger already attached.

Dimensions: Diameter 9 ⅛”
