American modernist artist Rockwell Kent's "Manhattan" dinner plates, produced for the "Our America" series by Vernon Kilns of California. The "Our America" series included scenes spanning from New York City to the Florida Everglades, to the Great Lakes, to the San Francisco Bay, all executed in Kent's classic Art Deco woodcut style.
This spectacular bird's-eye view--the most beautiful of all the "Our America" designs--depicts lower Manhattan, with the island's famous skyline, skyscrapers, and harbor. The border of the plate is decorated with patriotic stars.
