Edna Hibel 1985 Mothers Day Plate Erica and Jamie - Edwin M. Knowles

A beautiful limited-edition collector plate from the Edna Hibel Mother's Day series, issued in 1985 by Edwin M. Knowles China. The edition title is 'Erica and Jamie,' and this is plate number 9689D. The firing period for this edition closed permanently on May 11, 1985, making it a true time-limited collectible. The front face features Hibel's signature impressionistic style, depicting a tender mother-and-child portrait rendered in warm pinks, reds, and a swirling blue background. The image is created in layers of pigment and 22-karat gold, with delicate gold script accents visible along the lower portion of the face. The artist's signature 'Hibel' appears on the front face. The Bradex number printed on the back is 84-K41-92. The reverse carries full provenance text, the Edwin M. Knowles 1854 stamp, and the handwritten-style Edna Hibel quote: 'In my art and in life no line separates Mother and Child - their love is permanent and whole.' Noted on the back: not for food use due to gold and other rare metal pigments. Condition appears excellent - no visible chips, cracks, or crazing noted in photos. Gold rim and gold accents look bright and intact. Approximately 8.5 to 9 inches in diameter, consistent with standard Knowles collector plate sizing. A lovely display piece for Hibel collectors or fans of vintage limited-edition china.
