Collector's Notes

Issued around 1980, this plate is part of Edward Marshall Boehm's celebrated Hummingbird Plate Collection. Each design paired a North American hummingbird species with one of its native flowering plants and was produced in fine English bone china with a decorative gilt border.

 This example depicts the Rufous Flame-Bearer Hummingbird alongside Monarda didyma (Bee Balm).

If you collect the Boehm Hummingbird Plate Collection, this Rufous Flame-Bearer plate pairs its hummingbird with bee balm under a gilt border. If it's the one you've been looking for, it's ready to come home.
