Many top quality manufacturers produce special plates to commemorate events or dates. Some of these plates are made annually for many years, some of them are part of a series and others are a single issue. For example, Bing and Grondahl annual Christmas plates have been made every year since 1895, while Lenox Colonial Christmas Wreath plates were made annually for a series of only 13 years between 1981 and 1993 . The Wedgwood jasperware plate that commemorates the wedding of Lady Diana to Prince Charles was only made the year of the event, 1981.
Most collector plates are produced in a limited quantity and sometimes the demand for limited edition plates can dramatically increase the price of a particular plate after it has gone out of production.
Collector plates are generally sold individually, and sometimes come with registration papers and a box. The plates are intended to be decorative, so they should be displayed. Collectors may choose to display their plates on a stand, in a cabinet or hang them on a wall. The important thing is to be able to see and enjoy the beauty of the collection!
