Eight porcelain plates commemorating 150 years of the State of Victoria. The plates depict a transfer-print map of Victoria and have gold edging along the rim. The state floral symbol of a pink heath plant is shown above the map and blue writing frames the map above and below. Created and painted bespoke for the Shire of Cranbourne, the blue text states "STATE OF VICTORIA / 150th. Anniversary / 1984 - 5 / SHIRE OF CRANBOURNE", and includes the Cranbourne crest. The Shire of Cranbourne was amalgamated into the City of Casey.

The verso of the plate lists a chronological list of colonial dates of significance as well as the maker's mark for Westminster China. Westminster was the only Australian porcelain manufacturer of the 20th Century and was produced in Melbourne. This particular makers mark was in use from 1977-1991 and is in line with the date for the 150th anniversary. Westminster was sold to the US Oneida company in 1998 and ceased production. During the 1980s Westminster specialised in commemorative plates for special occassions, hospitality and as requested by various councils and governments. This plate would be one such commission by the Shire of Cranbourne.
