Collecting Norman Rockwell Plates

Norman Rockwell plates are one of the most popular types of collectors plates available today for sale. There is something special about Rockwell's artistic style that transcends changing times and connects us all at a very human level. His amazing work was, of course, featured on the cover of the Saturday Evening Post for a span of over forty years during the twentieth century. His early career also included time working with Boy's Life magazine as the art editor. Throughout his long and prolific career, Norman Rockwell produced art that was seen in a wide variety of publications. Norman Rockwell collectible plates are a popular way of celebrating his huge body of work.

Norman Rockwell plates are available in several different collections. If you choose to look for them online, you may want to get specific in your searches if you know exactly what you want. Looking for the title of a particular painting could be useful, but it might limit what shows up and not present you with collections that include the piece you are looking to add to your plate collection. Each one is a little slice of Americana that captures the sentiment and often, the news of the time. There are a number of collectors plates to choose from if you enjoy Rockwell's illustrations. eBay is one of the best places to find many of these collections available for sale. They definitely have one of the largest selections to choose from online.

One of the most famous Norman Rockwell paintings was is Boy with Baby Carriage. This was actually his first cover for the Saturday Evening Post. Over his forty seven years with the publication, Rockwell went on to produce 321 different covers. These, along with his many other paintings make up a collective work that has been captured in several different commemorative plate collections.

Although entire collections sell very well on eBay, there are also single plates available. These are sometimes replacement plates for broken pieces, but there are also single plates sold that are not a part of larger collections. Norman Rockwell commemorative Christmas plates have been selling well. A recently split collection from the early seventies sold for about $84 per plate. The prices of other individual Norman Rockwell plates and complete sets can vary quite a bit depending upon the maker, the number of pieces included in the plate set and the scarcity of the plates. If you are a collector of Rockwell's art, or if you know someone who is, a quick check of what is available for sale on eBay might be time well spent.
