1971 marked the 2,500th anniversary of the founding of the Persian Empire. The plate is of Spode fine bone china, 10 1/2" in diameter and is decorated with 22 carat gold and rich enamels. The design, by Harold Holdway, Spode's art director, symbolizes the anniversary by representing the present day Persian Empire in the form of the coat of arms of the pahlavi Dynasty and the origins of the empire in the border with a design inspired by Achaemenian art. This border is based upon the cavetto cornices above the doorways of the private palace of Darius the Great at Persepolis and rests on a rich ground of turquoise, Persia's Imperial color. It is completed by an outer border of the rosettes which were the most likely used of Achaemenian symbols. The plate is in perfect condition, we do not have the original box but there is the original folder that describes the plate and its symbolism.
