Vintage Paris France Rive Gauche Fluctuat Nec Mergitur Wilton Armetale Pewter 10 1/2 Inch Plate

You are bidding on a Vintage Paris France Rive Gauche Fluctuat Nec Mergitur Wilton Armetale Pewter 10 1/2 Inch Plate.

This great vintage collectible pewter plate is a wonderful souvenir of-or-from Paris, France. The plate is scratch free on the surface but shows discoloration and darkening in places that is typical of pewter. The back has some light scratching. I'd say this is in excellent condition.

At the center of the plate is the City of Paris Coat of Arms. From Wikipedia- "The coat of arms of the city of Paris (French: Blason de Paris) shows a silver sailing ship on waves of the sea in a red field, with a chief showing the Royal emblem of gold-on-blue fleur-de-lis and a crown. Originally introduced in the 14th century, its current form dates to 1853. The city motto is Fluctuat nec mergitur ("[She] is tossed [by the waves], but does not sink"). The traditional colors of the city of Paris are red and blue." Below the Coat of Arms the plate reads "Rive Gauche."

Also from Wikipedia- "La Rive Gauche (French pronunciation: ​[la ʁiv ɡoʃ], The Left Bank) is the southern bank of the river Seine in Paris. Here the river flows roughly westward, cutting the city in two: when facing downstream, the southern bank is to the left, and the northern bank (or Rive Droite) is to the right. "

The back of the plate is marked with the Wilton Armetale Pewter circular RWP logo.

The plate measures approximately 10 1/2 inches in diameter and is about 3/4 inches tall (effectively concaved), with several rings and depths. It is also scalloped along the edges.

Please note I cleaned this with a gentle soap but did not try and spiff-up the pewter.
