This beautiful 8-inch luncheon plate is part of the classic Manhattan Pattern produced by Mayer China for United States Lines in the 1940s. It features the highly collectible floral rim design with rich greens, reds, and gold accents, along with the desirable True Ivory glaze. These pieces were used aboard the SS America and SS Manhattan, and later in early service on the SS United States.
