This is a beautiful plate made in commemoration of the 150th Anniversary of the Boat Race between Oxford Collage and Cambridge College in England. The first race was 1829. The face of the plate is done in a brown transfer and has a border of rope surrounding a spoke like grouping of oars with the year and the winner of that race. The center shows a boat race in progress with spectators and the 8 man crew of one boat. The plate was made by Coalport Porcelain Works, Stoke, Staffordshire, England circa 1979. Coalport is now part of the Wedgwood Group. This 10-1/2" diameter plate is 1 of a limited edition of 2,500 plates made for this 150th Anniversary of the race. The back of the plate shows the crests of each school, the mark of the Coalport Company, the number of pieces made and "To Commemorated The 150th Anniversary of the Oxford & Cambridge Boat Race" in blue. The plate is in perfect condition with no chips, flakes or cracks.
