St. Louis Cathedral & Cabildo Plate – Crown Ducal for Colman E. Adler & Sons

Jackson Square in Blue – Mid-Century English Transferware

A reverent portrait in porcelain, this vintage transferware plate captures the full majesty of St. Louis Cathedral and the Cabildo, as seen from the gardens of Jackson Square. Framed by a swirling tulip and scroll border, it blends classic Staffordshire elegance with the soul of New Orleans.

Commissioned exclusively for Colman E. Adler & Sons, the legendary Royal Street jeweler, this piece was crafted in Staffordshire, England in the mid-20th century as part of a now-scarce series of French Quarter landmarks.

A staple of Southern heirlooms and a standout in blue-and-white displays, this plate is both a visual homage and a collector’s gem.
