Reco Collector's Plate 'A Little Slice of Heaven' by John McClelland

A round collector's plate featuring a painted scene of a young boy, seated and holding a small tart, possibly a pie. He is wearing a white shirt with ruffled details, a large blue bow tie, and dark pants. The boy has dark hair and is smiling. He is propped up on a blue cushion or pillow in front of a wall with floral wallpaper featuring pink roses and blue accents. Scattered around him on the floor are several toy soldiers dressed in red and white uniforms, and a wooden pull toy horse with a cart. One toy soldier stands to the boy's left, another stands with a drum to his right, and one is laying on the floor between them. The colors are vibrant and the details of the boy's face and the textures of the clothing and toys are rendered with a painted effect. There is a discernible artist's signature to the right of the boy. The plate appears to be made of ceramic or porcelain. The edge of the plate has a slight raised rim. The item appears to be in good condition with no visible chips, cracks, or major wear. The style suggests a late 20th-century or early 21st-century creation, consistent with the popularity of limited edition collector's plates.
