Vintage 1978 Gorham Fine China Plate — "Turquoise Bead Maker"
This is such a special little piece of history! Issued back in 1978 as part of the limited-edition Santa Fe Railway Collection by Gorham Fine China, this plate captures the quiet beauty of traditional craftsmanship.
The artwork, titled "Turquoise Bead Maker" by artist E. Irving Couse, shows a Native artisan patiently hand-drilling turquoise beads—a lovely reminder of slower, intentional days when things were made with heart and patience.
