This gorgeous transferware plate featuring scenes of old New Orleans was made by Crown Ducal in England. The scene depicted is the "Brunalatour Courtyard typical of the Vieux Carre." The back has a distinctive mark with the City of New Orleans Seal and Scenes of New Orleans Made by Crown Ducal England Especially for Coleman E Adler & Sons Jewelers, New Orleans.
Of note, Adler's began as Coleman Adler Jewelry in 1898 in a two-story shop on Royal Street in the French Quarter. In its early years, Adler's designed call-out favors and other jewelry for Mardi Gras krewes. In 1902, the store moved to 810 Canal Street. Canal Street, New Orleans was the shopping district of the entire region during the first half of the 20th century, and Coleman E. Adler was active in the Canal Street Commission for over thirty years. In 1904, Adler's was chosen to create the Times-Picayune Loving Cup awarded to educator Sophie B. Wright. Adler's designed and crafted the silver service the State of Louisiana presented to the navy's U.S.S. Louisiana upon its first arrival at the port of New Orleans in December 1906. The firm moved to its current location at 722-724 Canal Street in 1909.
This would be considered a cabinet or display plate and is quite distinctive. It is in wonderful, vintage condition. There is considerable crazing on both sides of the plates like all the others I found in my research. There are no chips or cracks or usage marks on the surfaces. There are spots of blue that is less than perfect, all original from the production in the 1940s.
Dimensions:
10" diameter at top
5 1/4" diameter at base
1" tall
