1976 was the 500th anniversary of printing being introduced to Britain by William Caxton and to mark this most important Quincentenary the Printers' Charitable Corporation arranged with the Bonarth Pottery to produce a magnificent and unique commemorative plate.

The Caxton plate is in bone china, richly decorated in Derby Red, burnished gold and platinum. It has a handsome wide border based on a medieval tapestry in 15th century style, with Caxton's shop sign, The Red Pale, at the top.
It measures 10½ inches in diameter.

The issue was limited to 5000 plates, numbered on the back which also bears the Corporation's seal.
