This porcelain service plate was made by Castleton China of New Castle, Pennsylvania in 1955, during Dwight D. Eisenhower's presidency. The plate features a raised-medallion border in coin gold and the presidential arms, surrounded by stars representing the 48 states. Alaska and Hawaii did not join the Union until 1959.
