"Ohio Golden-Rod" dessert or fruit plate is a design from the Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Porcelain Service. Porcelain with enamels and gilt decoration. The colors were applied using chromolithographic and decalcomania processes. Afterwards, decorators painted the plate with enamel colors to add shading and to enhance the design. Finally, the edges were gilt. The plate is molded in the shape of a leaf, and features a swallow flying over Ohio golden-rods and other prairie plants.
