Description
The Benjamin Franklin Federal Savings & Loan, based in the Pacific Northwest, commissioned Liberty Blue in 1975 to mark its 50th Anniversary. It was an exclusive series of ironstone tableware made by Enoch Wedgwood & Co in Staffordshire, England. Franklin used it as a promotional line to encourage deposits, offering a free basic place setting if you deposited $50 & subsequent place settings were available at low prices for depositors. The promotion continued until the end of 1976, although in 1977 they offered additionally a special 20 turkey platter free to those who deposited $5,000. This lovely bowl depicts Fraunces Tavern in New York, an important landmark in the American Revolution. It is in excellent condition, but does have a small chip on the back which can be seen in the photos. No further damage. Measures 8.5 (21.5cm) diameter & 3 (7cm) deep.
