Beautiful deep cobalt blue dinner plate produced especially for the ‘Dinner of the Inter-American Press Association in honor of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy,’ held at the Hotel Americana in Miami Beach on November 18, 1963, just four days before JFK’s assassination. The plate measures approximately 10.5″ in diameter, and features gilt edging and ornamentation of the presidential seal, as well as the coats of arms of the IAPA’s 14 member states. The manufacturer's imprint on the cream underside reads, “Syracuse - China - 93 G U.S.A.” In fine condition. Accompanied by a packet containing copies of several photographs of the event and a transcript of the address Kennedy gave.
