Harvard University Plates
Wedgwood issued a set of College Plates for the Harvard University in 1927, the first of
many such "sets" of college plates produced by Wedgwood: 12 different views, transfer
printed in blue on a 10.25 inch diameter Queensware (fine earthenware) plate, with a
fruit and flower border adapted from a c.1840 Staffordshire pattern. Approximately
5000 sets of 12 were produced. They proved so popular that Harvard commissioned
several subsequent sets of plates, plus cups and saucers, platters and punch bowls.
Harvard china by Wedgwood is to be found in blue as well as crimson red. There is a
later set which bears a different set of views and this set was made in smaller
quantities; even though it is newer, this set is more difficult to obtain.
