DescriptionRound, heavy, cream-colored earthenware plate with a black enamel printed pattern in the center, surrounded by a gilded border at the rim. The pattern is titled, "THE/ LEBANON MEETING HOUSE/ LEBANON, CONN." It shows a two-story brick church building with a portico supported by four columns. Above the portico, a spire rises about three or four stories above the building. There are trees on either side of the building and clouds in the sky behind. This pattern is surrounded by an undecorated area, then a gilded border of small, symmetrical, stylized flowers and leaves. Some of the gilding has worn off the plate, and there are a small number of light scratches on the surface of the plate.
