About this item
This fine‑china collector plate brings a warm, narrative presence with Norman Rockwell’s scene of a grandfather sharing keepsakes from an old wooden chest with two children, a moment filled with curiosity, memory, and intergenerational storytelling.
The artwork, titled Grandpa’s Treasure Chest, appears as the second issue in Rockwell’s Light Campaign, a series created to highlight Rockwell’s emergence as a defining interpreter of American life. Produced by the Edwin M. Knowles China Company, the plate was released as a limited edition restricted to a 150‑day firing period and finished with softly reflective gold trim. The Light Campaign plates are known for their expressive detail and emotional clarity, qualities that helped solidify Rockwell’s legacy in American illustration. This example includes its original Certificate of Authenticity and is numbered 1109M.
Dimensions are approximately 8.5" diameter.
