The back of the dish is inscribed in brown underglaze:

THE NEW COLOSSUS
Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
with conquering limbs astride from land to land
herat our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
a mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
mother of exiles, from her beacon-hand
glows world-wide welcome; her mild eye command
the air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
"Keep Ancient Lands, your storied pomp!"
cries she
with silent lips.  "Give me your tired, your
poor,
your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
the wretched refuse of your teeming shore,
send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

This tablet, with her sonnet to the Bartholdi Statue
