Circa: 1962
Manufacturer: Century Souvenir Company, Inc.
Nifty small vintage souvenir china dish out of a home. This is a souvenir piece from the 1962 Seattle World's Fair or Century 21 Exposition, held from April 21 to October 21, 1962 in Seattle, Washington. Graphics on the front side show and label the Space Needle in the center, and around this the Monorail, U.S. Science Pavilion, Washington State Coliseum and The Glittering Gayway, an amusement park area shown via a Carousel or Merry-go-Round and some other tents. Labelled on backside via 2 paper or foil oval labels which are still fully attached, stating "Made in Japan" and the manufacturer, "Century Souvenir Co., Inc."
Round, measuring 4 inches in diameter, with slightly upturned edges so sits about 5/8 inch in height. Weighs about 2 1/4 ounces and will be shipped in a small box for protection.This is made of porcelain or china (it is translucent), with a white base, gold line trim at the outer topside edge, and full color printed graphics. The backside has two manufactured holes in the base rim on which the piece sits, for ease in attaching a string or wire for hanging, should you wish to do so (no string or wire is currently attached to this piece).
We've provided 8 images to show from varied angles, including close-ups of the paper/foil labels and the wording. Please note that the camera lighting causes white "hot spot" reflections on the smooth surfaces. Please use the zoom feature to examine closely.
Very nice vintage condition, ready to display. There are no chips, cracks, crazing or large flaws, but this piece does show some expected age/storage wear. If viewed at an angle in bright light, there are some topside surface scratches/scratch lines in the graphics, but not bad. There are touches of topside surface wear as one would expect from age, dusting or cleaning, such as some minor wear/wear dots in some of the letters of "Seattle World's Fair", a touch of wear elsewhere on the graphics (such as on the two Monorail cars), and touches of wear on the gold line trim...but there is nothing really bad or unusual here for a piece of this age.
A neat piece to add to any collection related to the 1962 Seattle Worlds Fair or a Worlds Fair grouping in general. Also a fun addition for a collection related to the city of Seattle or Washington State in general. |
