Vintage Avondale Incolay Court Jesters Plate by Artist Almazetta Casey, Limited Edition is part of the Artistry of Alamzetta Casey and her Tribute to Ageless Arts, Scenes of a Bygone Era.
Court Jester was made in a limited edition of 10,000. This Court Jester collectors plate is numbered only 806 out of 10, 000. One of the first plates issued!

One court jester is gracefully juggling 3 small balls, while the other bends playfully backwards holding a large ball that has a bird hidden in the details! They both look so gleefully happy, it just makes you smile.

This is a rare plate to find in circulation, it has beautiful details in the white carved relief and the color of the plate is a soft golden yellow with some swirls of white. It is made out of Incolay Cameo Stone, which is processed from a combination of minerals to create the same stratifications as natural stone, it resembles alabaster and marble. Avondale is known for using this material which can be carved to create depth and is translucent when lit from behind. The images jump off the plate!

The artist Alamzetta Casey is a world renowned multi media artist. She is still creating art today and her work has been collected by American presidents and is on display in American Museums of Art.

This rare collector's plate would be a special addition to your collection, Or a wonderful gift for someone who loves Almazetta Casey & the arts.

The plate measures approximately 10.25" diameter and is marked on the back;
Court Jesters Created by Alamzetta Casey exclusively for Avondale in the year 1979. The plate number 806 is in a raised rectangle that is flanked by ribbon scrolls and roses, which trail around the makers mark, very pretty. The color yellow is a popular choice according to Pantone's Spring 2012 color predictions.

This was part of an estate sale find. This plate had a layer of dust and needed cleaning, I felt like a dental hygienist as I cleaned between the tiny lines in the very detailed designs. But it was worth the time, it now is in mint condition, no stains, chips, or cracks. It is so beautiful when displayed with light because the plate becomes translucent & glows. You have to see it to appreciate the quality & beauty.

The name INCOLAY is a coined word derived from
"in-layers of color" or "in-color-lay"
Each piece is unique no two will be exactly alike.
