Kachina Doll Plate Appraisal

Gregory Perillo 'The Kachina Doll' Native American Decorative Collector Plate

This is a circular decorative collector plate crafted from fine porcelain, featuring the artistry of Gregory Perillo, a well-known painter of Native American subjects. The plate measures approximately 8.5 inches in diameter and is finished with a delicate 24-karat gold-plated rim. The central illustration depicts two young Native American girls dressed in traditional light blue and brown clothing, seated on the ground and playing with various Kachina dolls. The background features a detailed desert landscape with mesa-style rock formations under a soft blue sky. The artist's signature, 'Perillo', is visible in the lower-left section of the artwork. This piece is likely part of a limited edition series from the late 1980s or early 1990s, often produced by companies such as Artaffects. The plate appears to be in very good vintage condition with no visible chips or cracks, although it shows minor handling marks and some glare from the lighting. The craftsmanship is typical of high-quality mass-produced collectibles of that era, intended for display rather than functional use.
