John Wayne Commemorative Collector Plate by Candy J. Alexander

This is a circular porcelain collector plate featuring a montage of portraits of the legendary American actor John Wayne. The artwork, created by artist Candy J. Alexander as evidenced by the cursive signature on the lower-right side, depicts Wayne in three of his most iconic roles. The largest figure on the left shows him as Rooster Cogburn from 'True Grit', complete with his signature eye patch and black western hat. Above and to the right, he is depicted in military attire, likely referencing 'Sands of Iwo Jima' or 'The Green Berets'. The small lower figure shows a younger Wayne in classic cowboy garb with a neckerchief. The plate is finished with a thin gold-toned metallic rim, which is a common characteristic of limited edition plates from the late 20th century, likely the 1980s or 1990s. The surface appears to be in excellent condition with a high-gloss glaze and no visible chips, cracks, or fading of the transfer-printed imagery. It is currently held by a gold-colored wire spring plate hanger for wall display. The craftsmanship is typical of high-quality mass-produced commemoratives from manufacturers like the Bradford Exchange or Hamilton Collection, intended for the Western memorabilia market.
