Plate
This cheerful plate, designed to cradle a juice cup amid a border of bright oranges, celebrates Florida's most famous crop and the citrus boom that transformed Martin County in the early twentieth century.
As pineapple and orange farming became Stuart's lifeblood, local families and visitors alike would have enjoyed fresh-squeezed juice from local groves, a simple pleasure captured in this functional, festive piece. The plate's whimsical design captures a moment when Florida's agricultural abundance felt limitless and present at every family table.
On display, main floor, Front section.
