This is a vintage decorative souvenir collector plate featuring the state of California (the “Golden State”). It has a colorful illustrated map-style center with landmarks and icons like the Hollywood Bowl, San Francisco Bay Bridge (likely the Golden Gate or Bay Bridge), Yosemite, Death Valley, Monterey, Sacramento, poppy (state flower), quail (state bird), grapes, Chinatown, and cartoonish figures, on a pale yellow background with an ornate 22k gold filigree/floral border. These mid-century tourist plates (likely 1950s–1970s, often Japan-made) are classic souvenirs with the gold trim adding a touch of elegance.
