Produced at Anna Perrenna Germany plate by artist Edna Hibel... Plate Series Question: I would like to know what year Gesa Kinder (Joys of Motherhood) Mother's plate was produced? Also, when was the 1st Mother's Day plate produced and the 1st Mother's day series plate produced? Also, when was the 1st year of the Christmas plate produced and the 1st series of the Christmas Plate? Answer: The plate listings do not have a date for "Gesa and Kinder." The plate was produced by Anna Perenna under license from Edna Hibel for the European market. The back stamp shows a date of 1977 with the corporate seal of Anna Perenna. It was brought into the US later -- we don't have a date, probably in the 1980's -- along with the second plate (Alexander und Kinder) in the International Mother Love Series. The French section of that series continued in 1985 with " Yvette Avec Ses Enfants, and in 1991 with "Liberte, Egalite, Fraternite." The first Mother and Child-Mother's Day plate series was produced in 1973 by Royal Doulton, that series ran through 1981 with 6 plates in the series. The first Hibel plate ever is Colette and Child. The second series started with "Abby and Lisa" from Knowles China in 1984 through 1991. The series was continued by Edna Hibel Studio in 1992 with "Mollie and Annie" and continues today. The Holiday/Christmas series began with "The Angels Message" in 1985 from Knowles China called a Christmas Annual through 1990 and was continued by Edna Hibel Studio with "The First Holiday" in the Edna Hibel Holiday series in 1991 through today. Edna Hibel continues to be one of the most recognized and most collected artists in the collector plate market. She has designed plates for such top manufacturers as Royal Doulton, Rosenthal, and Knowles, and continues to issue plates under her own Hibel Studios label.
