    Description (Brief)

    This white dessert plate has a blue and yellow crescent pattern around the lip of the plate. There is a small, black, lattice arrow symbol on the back of the plate. This plate was part of the collection of dinnerware used in the "Windows on the World" restaurant located on the 107th floor, Tower 1 of the World Trade Center. The china survived because the owner of the restaurant had taken the china home for a private function.
