Plate Limited
How much is this worth? A Commemorative Plate limited edition #68 of only 200 by artist Elizabeth Catlett?
made in cooperation with Greenbriar Mall in Georgia, and the 1988 Artists' Market of the National Black Arts Festival. The image was also on some lithographs of hers...it is an all red ballerina silhouette leaping, with a blue ribbon over her, with the artist's signature below her on a black octogon shaped plate.
Overall, collectors' plates have little value compared to their purchase price, with a few exceptions. A quickie search at ebay found zero similar items by Catlett, so there's nothing to compare it to.
If you visit ebay and search within Collectibles/Decorative Collectibles/Plates, you get over 10,000 items. The vast majority are "priced to sell" (at less than half their purchase price) and still have no bids.
Best bet for finding its value, aside from professional appraisal, would be to keep an eye on ebay for anything else by Catlett (or artists of similar stature) on a plate, and see what the high bids are.
