This is a great little plaque made by Pennsbury Pottery of Morrisville, Pennsylvania which operated from 1950 until 1971. It depicts the famous painting "Washington Crossing the Delaware" by Emanuel Gottlieb Leutze.
This is actually a very rare subject for Pennsbury ~ they are generally known for Pennsylvania Dutch-style works and their birds. I have been unable to locate anything similar on-line
The plaque is done in a high relief gold-ish colour with a black or dark brown rim. It measures 5" in diameter and about 3/4" deep. It has a small hole on the back to run wire or string through for hanging. Pennsbury Pottery is incised on the back.
This piece is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks or crazing.
