Children of the Pueblo Decorative Plate by Gregory Perillo
This is a circular porcelain collector plate measuring approximately 8.5 inches in diameter, featuring an artwork reproduction titled 'Children of the Pueblo' by the artist Gregory Perillo. The centerpiece of the plate depicts three Native American figures—two children and an elder woman—engaged in traditional activities such as grinding corn on a metate, set against a background of a multi-story adobe pueblo structure and a desert mountain landscape. The imagery is rendered in vibrant earthy tones including terracotta, turquoise, and sandy beiges, using a transfer-ware process on a white ceramic base. The plate is finished with an accenting gold-tone gilded rim that appears to be in good condition with no visible chips or significant wear to the gilding. Based on the style and typical manufacturing of such items, it likely dates from the late 1980s to early 1990s as part of a limited edition series produced by Artaffects or a similar collectibles house. The surface shows a high-gloss glaze with no obvious signs of crazing, cracks, or surface scratches from this perspective. It is intended for decorative display only and typically features a printed certificate of authenticity and specific plate number on the reverse side. The craftsmanship is typical of high-volume commercial collectible pottery from the late 20th century.
