Arizona cactus - Prickly Pear - plate, 10" in diameter. The green and orange illustration is very retro, southwest style. A vintage souvenir you can actually use!

This is mid century vintage, marked Exclusive Arizona Cactus Dinnerware on the reverse. Sometimes we see these plates marked Blakeley Gas and Oil, sometimes marked Universal Potteries (Ohio). I think the earlier pieces were all made by Universal - Cambridge for Blakely gas stations, later pieces were made in Japan.

It's in very nice condition, glossy without wear, no chips or staining. Photos show the front and back of the actual plate you'll receive, the back stamps vary on the plates from this collection.
