Twelve Days of Christmas - Imperial
Beginning in 1970, Imperial produced a series of plates depicting the the song "Twelve Days of Christmas". Each plate has a different stanza and each is a different color. The interior of each plate depicts the referenced Christmas Day with the song phrase in writing around it. The border on the front of each plate is the same for all and includes images for all 12 days. Readily available on EBAY.

Tony DeMichael provides this information about the Imperial Christmas plates:
"The first plate was issued in 1970 and the twelfth in 1981. The first plate was issued in Aurora Jewels (cobalt). However, Imperial tried to make this first plate in 1970 in red. They didn't have much success and only 11-12 were made in red that first year. If you ever find one of those, hang on to it. As the years progressed, with a different color for each year, the final plate was indeed made in 1981 in red. By that time, Imperial was able to make red with success."

Imperial made Christmas tree ornaments to go along with their 12 Days of Christmas plates. They are three inches across and have a hole for a string. Only days 1 through 4 were made before Imperial closed, but, curiously, a day ten is also found.
