commemorative plate

Collectible wall dish

A commemorative plate is a decorative ceramic or porcelain plate produced to mark a significant event, anniversary, or figure—royal weddings, historical milestones, beloved television shows.

Meant for display rather than dining, they're often sold as collectibles through advertisements or specialty catalogs: My grandmother's cabinet was full of commemorative plates from QVC.
