The Edwin M. Knowles "Daddy Warbucks" collectible plate.

The Edwin M. Knowles China Company was a prominent American pottery manufacturer founded in East Liverpool, Ohio, in 1854. Known for its high-quality dinnerware and decorative plates, the company became a significant name in American ceramics throughout the late 19th and 20th centuries. They were particularly recognized for their collectible plate series, often featuring popular characters and themes. The "Daddy Warbucks" plate is part of The Annie Collector's Plate Series, inspired by the beloved comic strip character Little Orphan Annie and her wealthy benefactor, Daddy Warbucks. This series, created in the early 1980s, aimed to capture the essence of the classic characters for collectors. The plates were produced in limited editions, typically over a limited number of firing days, and often came with certificates of authenticity and were signed by the artist.
