Joseph Interprets Pharaoh's Dream, Plate Number 384568

This is a vintage porcelain collector's plate titled 'Joseph Interprets Pharaoh's Dream,' designed by artist Yiannis Koutsis for the Calhoun's Collectors Society. Dating to 1978, the plate is part of 'The Creation' series. The artwork features a stylized, modernist interpretation of the biblical scene, characterized by sharp geometric lines, architectural depth, and a vibrant palette including blues, golds, and terra cotta tones. The central figure of Pharaoh sits on an elevated throne while Joseph gestures toward symbolic orbs representing the dream elements. The construction is fine-grain porcelain with a traditional round profile, approximately 8 to 9 inches in diameter, finished with a thin gold-gilded rim. The surface appears to have a high-gloss glaze which preserves the color saturation. Based on the provided context, the reverse contains specific manufacturing details including the unique plate number 384568 and the artist's signature. The condition appears excellent with no visible chips, cracks, or significant fading of the transfer-ware image. The craftsmanship represents high-quality limited edition manufacturing typical of the late 1970s collectibles market.
