Antique 1898 Admiral Dewey Battle of Manila Bay Commemorative Plate | Cobalt Blue & White | 10.5”
A striking antique cobalt blue and white commemorative plate honoring Commodore George Dewey and the American victory at the Battle of Manila Bay on May 1, 1898, one of the defining naval engagements of the Spanish–American War.
The center features a finely rendered portrait of Dewey in naval uniform surrounded by an elaborate wreath and maritime decoration. Encircling the plate are the names of the ships of his celebrated Asiatic Squadron, including Olympia, Baltimore, Raleigh, Boston, Concord, and Petrel. The Olympia served as Dewey’s flagship during the battle.
Richly decorated in deep cobalt blue against a creamy white ground, the plate incorporates naval ropes, laurel branches, flags, anchors, and other maritime motifs throughout. A delicate gilt border finishes the scalloped rim.
Following the decisive American victory at Manila Bay, Dewey became one of the most celebrated military figures in the United States, inspiring an extraordinary range of commemorative objects. This plate survives as both a decorative piece of late-19th-century ceramic art and a tangible piece of American naval history.
