This one green-on-white plate produced by Enco National claims to be the first in a series (of two known versions) and “depicts highlights of the 13 colonies struggle to be a free nation.” What makes this plate (and series) unusual among “collectibles” is that it is marked dishwasher and oven safe! Another version of the same plate was made in brown-on-white.
