Demystifying Limited Edition Plate Identification

Most Limited Edition plates are reproductions of original paintings that were transferred onto plates by various manufacturing methods. Only one template is used by the manufacturer for all plates made from that work of art, for that particular series of plates. But sometimes the same manufacturer will make another plate template, from that same work of art, to include in another series of plates.

Here's some information that will help you greatly:

A Limited Edition plate collector needs to be aware that artists often license more than one manufacturer to reproduce their paintings onto plates. So you might also find different plates with the same art work on them, made by different manufacturers, and they might all be genuine Limited Edition Collectible plates.

Limited Edition means that the manufacturer vows to produce NO MORE than an amount stated from that template. Then the template is destroyed and never used again. However, if the edition is limited to 10,000 plates that does not mean they produced 10,000 plates, it only means that they vowed not to produce more than 10,000 plates.

Also, saying a plate is the first edition only means it was the first plate in a series. Second edition would be the second plate in a series, etc. Each edition is limited to the same amount of plates as the other plates in that series, but there may not have been the same number of plates produced for each edition. That's why some plates in a series may be more valuable than others. Value is based on supply and demand, as well as materials and workmanship.

Limited Edition Collectible plates are usually numbered and of those that are not, then none of the plates from that template were numbered. Again, either all of the plates from that template were numbered, or none of them were numbered.

Those numbers are just SERIAL numbers. They don't mean anything more. A collector cannot identify a plate from it's serial number because the number is not unique. Only one plate from a template gets that number, but plates from other templates, and even other manufacturers, might bear the same number. There was never anything standardized about numbering plates in any particular way. Some of the numbers also contain letters. This was probably just a way to keep the serial numbers from getting too long. More variables are possible when letters are added to serial numbers. For example: License plates have letters added so that the numbers can be limited to a predetermined length without being duplicated.

Plates are produced in batches, not all at one time, but there is no available system that tells you which serial numbers belonged to which batch of plates produced from a template. Unfortunately nothing was ever standardized about how different manufacturers could number plates.

There is always a chance that some plate batches were flawed and they contained certain serial numbers, but those batches were usually discarded by the plate producer. Then again, there are instances where every plate from an edition was flawed and those plates were still sold to the public.

So the value of a Limited Edition Collectible plate cannot realistically be decided by its serial number. Rather, the value is determined by condition, supply, and demand.

The more important number is the Bradex number.

Limited Edition plates have Bradex numbers, but the Bradex number is not listed on all plates. Some manufacturers include it and others do not. It's an identification number that essentially says: Yes, this is the second plate from the 104th series that this manufacturer produced in this country.

For example: Bradex: 84-B10-18.2 means that the plate was produced in the USA by the Bradford Exchange and it was the second edition plate of the 18th series. The "84" means USA and "B10" means Bradford Exchange. The third plate in the series would be 84-B10-18.3

The manufacturer may have made thousands of plates from a template, and they will all have the same Bradex number, but each will have a different serial number.

What you want to be most concerned with is who the manufacturer was. Different manufacturers use different materials to produce plates and therefore their plates are more or less valuable. (ie. porcelain, bone china, pottery, metals, alabaster, etc.) Some manufacturers are more well known for quality work than others also, so their plates may or may not be more valuable.

All that is what makes plate collecting so complicated.

The only way to truly identify a genuine Limited Edition plate, without the Bradex number, is to know:
1) the manufacturer's name
2) the artist's name
3) the series name
4) plate's name

If ALL match your plate, and the picture looks the same, then it is the same plate. That's why we give all of that information for every plate on The Plate Lady™ ® of Tampa Bay web site at [ThePlateLady.com] We want to be more than a retail company. We want to be a valuable source for identifying Limited Edition Plates.

Plates without a series name are called "Single Issues" or "Special Issues", but that will not always be written on the plate, AND sometimes plates belong to a series but its name is not printed on the plate. The Franklin Mint did a number of Single Issues and often did not print the series names on plates that clearly belonged to a series. For example: The John Wayne Western Series plates do not list the series name on the plates, but they clearly all belong to the same series.

One last thing to know, is that sometimes manufacturers release miniature plates that look just like the full sized plates, so knowing the diameter of the plate and it's series name is important to be sure you have the correct plate.

There are some counterfeit plates out there, but counterfeiters usually get caught pretty quickly. Artists and their heirs are very aware of who has been licensed to reproduce their property. They can easily spot counterfeits, especially when they are on the web where they can be found by search engines.

As a collector, it's important to research any unfamiliar manufacturers, to make sure they legitimately produce Limited Edition collectible plates for the industry. That way you can be sure that you're not buying a knock-off that looks like the real thing, but was made by some obscure company that no one has ever heard of. Artists can also be contacted to find out who was or is licensed to reproduce their art.
