This is a particularly three-dimensional souvenir plate which is hand-painted. Embossed titles around the rim tell us this is
The Narrows at the Cave of the Winds. A small sign reads "Narrows ~ Yes you can ~ A Million Others Wave". The underside of plate has a paper label reading "Made in Japan" and a hanger home-made from bread twist ties. A better hanging mechanism can be added for the two pierced holes in the raised base ring if wall-mounting desired.
Cave of the Winds is located in the Pike’s Peakregion of Colorado, just west of Colorado Springs. Cave of the Winds has been in continuous operation since 1881– making it one of Colorado’s oldest visitor attractions. The last two photos show this exact scene, theentrance to the Williams Canon. Thedrive is short and steep. It is believedthat bothApacheand Ute Native Americans knew about the cave. The name,Cave of the Winds, relates to a legend involving the Apache, who were said tobelieve the cave was the home of a Great Spirit of the Wind.Condition: Very goodgiftable condition. Only mentionable issue: backside has a discoloration spot at approx. 8 o'clock (see photo last photo). Back has visiblecrazing, without discoloration except as previously mentioned. The raised foot on the underside has a chip -- however, since overglazed, this appears to be a manufacturing flaw, not subsequent damage. On front, paint and glaze intact with good color and withoutscratches or erosion. No chips, flakes, breaks, mends, repairs, cracks,hairlines, blemishes, or mentionable boo-boo's. Don't feel anything amiss whenI run finger around edges. No signs of previous repair or restoration.
