The blue and white 10 ½” round plate was sold by the H & S Pogue Company. For over a hundred years, Pogue's was a well-loved department store chain in Cincinnati. Prior to the company's closing in the 1980s, one of the greatest compliments one could make in the Queen City regarding a piece of merchandise was to use the store's own slogan, "It Came from Pogue's."
A blue stamp on the back of the plate reads:
