Norman Rockwell 'Girl at Breakfast' Collector Plate

This is a circular decorative porcelain plate featuring a reproduction of a Norman Rockwell illustration titled 'Girl at Breakfast'. The plate has a diameter that appears to be standard for collector plates, likely around 8-10 inches, and is primarily white porcelain with a detailed color illustration occupying the majority of the surface. The central image depicts a young girl with reddish-brown hair tied with a large bright blue bow, wearing a blue dress and a white bib. She is seated, smiling directly at the viewer, holding a spoon with cereal in one hand and a bowl of cereal in the other. A glass of water is visible to her left on a patterned placemat. The background is a soft brown, suggesting an indoor setting. The rim of the plate features a decorative border with a gold-tone band, followed by a lighter band with a repeating pattern of reddish-pink dots or dashes, and then another thin gold-tone line. The artistic style is characteristic of Norman Rockwell's sentimental and realistic Americana, known for capturing everyday life. A visible signature, 'Norman Rockwell', is present in the lower right portion of the illustration. The plate appears to be in good overall condition with no obvious chips, cracks, or significant wear visible from the provided image. The colors are vibrant and well-preserved. It is likely a collector's plate, possibly from a series, produced in the late 20th century, given the popularity of Rockwell plate collections during that period.
