Rooster Plates

Collectible Rooster Plates

Not everyone who collects decorative plates focuses just on one particular maker.  Many plate collectors prefer to follow a central theme regardless of who the plate was made by.  Roosters are one of the more popular themes for home decor and collectors plates.

Decorative rooster plates can certainly be purchased individually, but they are often sold in sets.  Depending on the specifics of the lot or individual plate being offered, prices recently have been ranging from around twenty dollars to a top end of between two hundred to three hundred dollars.

During a recent check, a single 1953 De Grazia signed plate featuring a rooster sold as a buy it now item for $250.  Within a week, a set of 5 eight inch Colonial Faience Rooster plates sold for the same price.  That particular set of plates sold as an auction item, but only received a single bid.  Most of the decorative rooster plates sold during the same two week period ended for less than half of that price.

Some of the recently popular auction items included a set of Metlox Poppytrail decorative rooster dinner plates.  These featured a repeated image of a green rooster and received several bids.  They topped out around $42.  For just a wee bit less someone purchased a set of eleven Susan Winget Rooster Sunrise plates.

If you are going to explore what is available and you know specifically what brand of plate you are looking for, you might still want to start with a general search of "rooster plates".  I suggest this from experience.  Many times sellers will not know the exact title to list, especially if they are selling off estate sale merchandise.  By taking a few minutes to browse what is available, you might find something that was either mis-labeled or listed under too general of a term to get found (something like "set of rooster plates").
