Vintage Franklin Mint Thanksgiving Sterling Silver Limited Edition Plate

Franklin Mint Thanksgiving Sterling Silver Plate by Stevan Dohanos, 1974

A beautifully crafted limited-edition sterling silver plate from the Franklin Mint, issued in 1974 to celebrate the warmth and tradition of the American Thanksgiving holiday. Struck in solid sterling silver, the plate features original artwork by Stevan Dohanos — one of America's most beloved illustrators and a celebrated contributor to The Saturday Evening Post. His scene captures the quiet dignity and communal spirit of a historic Thanksgiving gathering, rendered with the narrative charm and emotional clarity that define his finest work.

The plate is accompanied by its original presentation box and Certificate of Authenticity, both well preserved and adding meaningfully to the piece's provenance and desirability. The box retains its classic Franklin Mint styling, while the certificate confirms the plate's limited-edition status and 1974 production year.

Whether you're drawn to its craftsmanship, its connection to a celebrated American artist, or its place within Franklin Mint's early sterling series, this Thanksgiving edition offers both charm and lasting collectible appeal — a wonderful addition to any collection of American silver or decorative arts.
