1991 Knowles Goldilocks And The Three Bears Collector Plate Appraisal

1991 Knowles 'Goldilocks and the Three Bears' Collector Plate (Back)

This item is the back of a collector's plate, specifically the 1991 Knowles "Goldilocks and the Three Bears" plate, which is the premiere issue in the 'Classic Fairy Tales' series. The plate is made of fine Knowles china and is part of a limited edition, with production limited to a maximum of 150 firing days. It features a Bradex number of 84-K41-112.1 and an individual production number of '6609'. The reverse side of the plate, as shown, is predominantly white porcelain with gold-toned text providing details about the plate's origin and edition. A metal wire plate hanger is currently attached to the plate, positioned over the printed information. The hanger appears to be in good condition, securely holding the plate. The rim of the plate shows some minor wear, which includes slight discoloration or scuffs, possibly from handling or display over time. The text on the plate indicates that 'Rare pigments used for color' were utilized in its creation. The plate also quotes a line from the story: "And the Honey Bear said, 'Someone's been sleeping in my bed ...and there he is!'", although the OCR suggests "the Baby Bear" and "there the in". The craftsmanship appears to be of standard quality for collector plates of this era, designed for display rather than functional use.
