Young Baseball Player Plate Appraisal

Baseball Themed Collector's Plate with Young Player

This item is a circular collector's plate featuring a vibrant, colorized image depicting a baseball scene. The primary figure is a young boy, likely a bat boy or a child in a uniform, standing prominently in the foreground wearing a grey baseball uniform with visible lettering, possibly 'C H I C A G O' or a similar team name, though not entirely clear from the image. He appears to be in an older style baseball uniform, suggesting a historical theme. Surrounding him are several adult male figures, presumably baseball players or coaches, some seated or slumped, indicating a dugout or locker room setting. Their uniforms are also in various shades of grey, white, and brown. The background shows hints of spectators. The plate has a distinct golden rim, which appears to be a metallic or metallic-glazed border, adding to its decorative appeal. The image is sharply printed onto the ceramic surface, displaying good color saturation and detail. The visible surface appears smooth and glossy, indicative of a porcelain or fine ceramic material. No obvious chips, cracks, or significant wear are visible on the depicted surface, suggesting it is in good, possibly excellent, condition. The uniform style and overall aesthetic suggest a mid-20th century Americana theme, likely produced as part of a series celebrating baseball history. The craftsmanship appears to be of standard quality for mass-produced collector's plates, with clear imagery and an intact decorative rim. There are no discernible maker's marks or signatures visible in the provided image.
