Anchor Hocking plate with blue gold coat or arms or crest. Any info on decoding this plate?

Thanks in advance.

 

Rick, what does the rest of the plate look like?

Debora

 

It looks like "restaurant ware" - also used in institutional settings, like colleges, fraternity/sorority houses, clubs.

 

I'll have bill shoot me over a full picture.
Here is another example of what he sent earlier.

 

BTW, Shenango did not become the property of Anchor Hocking until 1979.

Here's a plate by Shenango, also marked 17028, customized for Ashland College.

This says -- don't know if true or not -- "Marked: Shenango China – New Castle Pa. U.S.A. – Anchor Hocking – Q 45 (Circa 1987)"

Pattern found in the most discerning homes.

I think it from the El Tovar Hotel at the Grand Canyon.

From the listing, don't know if it's all correct.

D***, girl... You've done it again. Never would have associated that crest with El Tovar. Still use basic design but have tarted it up some.

And naughty, naughty person who stole a dinner plate. Most people satisfy themselves with an ash tray.

There seem to have been a number of earlier designs used at El Tovar.

I’m not sure if this is inappropriate for this site so feel free to tell me to get lost. Is this plate for sale? I would love to purchase it. My partner worked at El Travar about thirty years ago. He has always joked about owning one of their China plates. Maybe this could be real. Let me know what you think. Thanks!
