The Plate Lady of Tampa Bay has been an Authorized Limited Edition Dealer since 1977

We distribute the very best art collectibles available from the world's leading Award Winning Artists.

Our mission is to make our web site a valuable resource for information about Limited Edition Collectibles as well as other art collectibles.

We maintain hundreds of representative pictures for positive identification, that our visitors can browse with ease. We maintain those pictures in permanent galleries for easy viewing. We do not remove Limited Edition pictures when those products are no longer in stock, so that our visitors may have the opportunity to view those works of art for easy reference. If an item says "Please Inquire About Availability" it may or may not be available.

We also try to provide complete information about each collectible, whenever information is available.

On our site you can also find everything needed to enhance your beautiful and valuable collection with the very best quality and selection of decorative display accessories.

Due to the rise in popularity of Theme Decor, we recently decided to depart from our policy of only carrying Limited Edition Collectibles so that we could offer a wider range of art collectibles and art reproductions. Our home decor and figurine section has now been greatly expanded to include art sculptures, statues, figurines, vases, urns, chairs, tables, chess sets, jewelry boxes, trinket boxes, and many other collectible art objects that are sure to delight anyone who appreciates fine art and theme decorating.

Many of the items offered are authentic reproductions of rare antique artifacts. We are endorsing the collection of reproductions as an alternative to collecting costly authentic antique artifacts, because those items are sometimes illegally removed from third-world country archeological sites without government permissions. Buying such antique objects, even from reputable dealers, is risky and could involve the buyer in legal complications. For an in-depth discussion of the growing problem of artifact plunderage, see the informative article "Antique Treasures For Sale" in our January 2006 Newsletter.

Our plan is to continue to find new art collectible resources, so that we can offer even more great art objects to our web site visitors at reasonable prices, while being very careful and responsible about the products we choose.

We are proud to offer quality products and service to our customers, who are some of the nicest people on the web.

Thank you for shopping with The Plate Lady of Tampa Bay!
