In the late 70's the Brdford Exchange sold allot of plates where there was a minimum distribution, similar to Franklin Mint. Prior to the late 70's and through the beginning of the century ornamental or commemorative plates were sold. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&q=bradford+exchange&aq=f&oq=&aqi=g10 Looking at the plate it is my guess that this plate of course was never intended as a eating utensil, my guess is that the plate was designed to be set on a window sill to allow light to come through it. There is a very outside chance that the plate was European and designed with Tourists in mind, but my better guess is that it is a limited collectible plate. Here is but a partial list of those types of plates.. http://www.seemslikeoldtimes.com/ Keep in mind that some estimates place collecting/buying plates as the third largest collectible activity behind coins and stamps only in the USA. Without original packaging or some idea of the the plates history, tracking down one-off plates can be time consuming or difficult..
