Vintage ceramic tile Butterfly and a Flower, wall decor relief plate, marked "Buckeye B4678 (c) 1960 Napco Cleve, Ohio." There is an additional silvery label, "(c) National Pottery Company, Cleveland, O. Made in Japan".

The plate is 6.1/4" x 6.1/4"; 2" [14.8cm x 5.1cm] from the bottom to the top of butterfly's wing; two holes in the rim for a hanging, one tiny chip on the rim and one on the top of one wing [see photos]; very good condition.

The National Potteries Corporation, or Napco, was founded in Bedford, Ohio, in 1938. Although Ohio was a center for art pottery in the middle of the 20th century, being the home of Rookwood, Roseville, and Weller, Napco only produced its own products, most vases for flowers, for a handful of years. After World War II, Napco grew rapidly by importing collectible ceramic novelty items from Japan. Very few Napco pieces from the 1950s-60s era were copyrighted.
