Jonroth Studios was founded in 1909 in Peoria, Illinois, as an import company, contracted with companies in Germany and Japan for pictoral souvenir plates with the Jonroth Studio backstamp. The company began importing 'Made for America in England' commemorative and souvenir pieces as early as 1892. The Jonroth Co.is, to this day, a prolific importer of Staffordshire pottery into the USA, specialising in historical or souvenir designs on the traditional blue (and pink) Staffordshire prints.

This particular plate was manufactured by JH Weatherby for the Jonroth Company, in about 1975. It depicts an historic building in Sudbury, Massachusetts, called 'Longfellow's Wayside Inn'. Originally known as Howe's Tavern, the inn changed it's name when Henry Wadsworth Longfellow employed it as the setting for his book of poetry, “Tales of a Wayside Inn” in 1863.

This pendant piece is taken from the decorative border of this gorgeous plate.
