1977 International Silver Pewter "Partridge in a Pear Tree" Collector Plate

This item is a circular collector's plate, seemingly made of pewter due to its matte gray, metallic appearance and characteristic soft sheen. The plate features a central embossed design depicting a partridge perched on a branch laden with pears and leaves, representing the 'Partridge in a Pear Tree' motif, likely from the 'Twelve Days of Christmas' series. To the right of the partridge, the year '1977' is clearly debossed into the surface, indicating its manufacturing or release year. The outer rim of the plate is adorned with a raised border featuring a continuous pattern of what appear to be pears, berries, and leaves, creating a festive and ornate frame for the central image. The detailing on both the partridge and the fruit/foliage is generally crisp, suggesting good quality casting or pressing. The overall condition appears to be excellent, with no visible signs of significant wear, scratches, dents, or repairs. The patina looks uniform, consistent with an item that has been well-preserved, possibly in its original packaging visible in the background (a light-colored box and a dark brown felt or cloth pouch). The style is characteristic of collector plates produced in the latter half of the 20th century, often issued in limited editions or as part of annual series. The craftsmanship indicates a collectible item, likely produced by a reputable manufacturer known for silver or pewter goods.
