City on a Plate: Melbourne

Celebrating one of twelve featured cities - along with Shanghai, Los Angeles, Cairo, New Orleans, Dubai, Las Vegas, St. Petersburg, Berlin, Brasilia, New York and Washington D.C. - this 12" porcelain plate showcases the core of downtown Melbourne against a dramatic black background. Orange icons represent key buildings, alongside blue rivers and green public spaces. Though it served as the Australian capital for less than 30 years, Melbourne is marked by its status as a leading city on the international stage of design and fashion. Many refer to it as Australia’s ‘sporting and cultural capital’. Founded in 1835, Melbourne quickly grew into a major financial hub, owing in part to its strategic location on Port Phillip. Although its port system was economically important, the Victorian gold rush of the mid-19th-century transformed Melbourne into a railroad city. Owing to its abundance of parks and gardens, Melbourne is also known as the “Garden City" and is the lushest city in Australia.
