A sweet little piece of American exposition history, this miniature ceramic souvenir dish commemorates the 1982 World's Fair held in Knoxville, Tennessee — officially themed “Energy Turns the World.” The white glazed dish features the fair's iconic official logo in full color: the Sunsphere tower rising through billowing clouds beneath a bold rainbow arc, with the flame-topped “O” in World's Fair rendered in red — all encircled by “The 1982 World's Fair — Knoxville, Tennessee™” in bold black lettering.
At just 2.5" across, this shallow ring dish is the quintessential pocket-sized souvenir of the era — perfect for a ring tray, coin dish, or display in a World's Fair or Knoxville collection. The reverse is unglazed white with a small paper label remnant.
The 1982 Knoxville World's Fair drew over 11 million visitors and left the Sunsphere as a lasting landmark — making its memorabilia increasingly collectible.
