Norman Rockwell 'The Lighthouse Keeper's Daughter' Collector Plate
This is a circular porcelain collector plate featuring decorative artwork by the renowned American illustrator Norman Rockwell. The central image depicts a multi-figural scene with three young women in late 19th or early 20th-century attire set against a dramatic, cloudy seascape. The artwork is characterized by Rockwell's narrative realism, featuring a muted color palette of blues, ochre, and browns. A prominent 'Norman Rockwell' signature is reproduced in red on the right side of the plate surface. The plate is constructed from fine white porcelain and features a continuous gold-toned rim decorated with a repetitive geometric quatrefoil border pattern. Based on the style and typical manufacturing for the Hawthorn Heirloom or Knowles collections, this likely dates from the late 1970s to the 1980s. The plate appears to be in good secondary market condition, though it currently bears a modern adhesive price tag from a thrift store on the left side, which may leave residue upon removal. The gold trim shows minimal wear from handling. Typically, such pieces would feature a unique set number and firing period details on the reverse side. The craftsmanship is indicative of high-volume decorative collectibles from the late 20th century, frequently marketed as limited editions to the domestic market.
