Description

Bicentennial Glass Plate — a commemorative glass dish produced to mark the 200th anniversary of American independence. Created circa 1976, this clear glass plate features a raised medallion-style Liberty Bell at its center and the word “The Bicentennial” inscribed in a circular band. With its clean shape and patriotic symbolism, the plate reflects a mid-century American tradition of marking national milestones through decorative household objects
.

The U.S. Bicentennial was celebrated nationwide in 1976 with parades, events, and commemorative merchandise. Plates like this were popular keepsakes, often purchased as souvenirs or gifts. While they were mass-produced and remain affordable today, they hold deep sentimental value and nostalgic appeal — linking generations to a shared civic moment. The Liberty Bell, prominently featured, is one of the most enduring symbols of American freedom
.

Still collected by Americana enthusiasts, this plate is both a conversation piece and a historical memento. Whether hung on a wall or displayed in a cabinet, it embodies a uniquely American sense of pride and remembrance.
