Troika Plaques For All Pockets
If you saw the Troika Love plaque that finished recently on eBay but your pockets weren’t quite deep enough then don’t despair Troika made a range of plaques some more affordable than others!
Equally attractive and more affordable the Troika Stove plaque and Calculator plaque are just as collectable and often more obtainable to many people. The Calculator plaque is roughly 12″ by 9″ in dimension, still quite a substantial size for a piece of Troika. With buttons that stick out, reminiscence of a calculator, this plaque has an altogether different feel to the flowing geographical design of the Love Plaque or the Thames plaque.
Often when one unusual piece appears on eBay it can start a mini trend for a while as people with similar items spot it and decide to list their pieces. Currently there is a rather nice (and in perfect condition!) Calculator plaque and funnily enough another equally sized Calculator plaque!
Both slightly different designs, and different artists it once again depends on your collecting angle. I find lots of people like to have one of each model regardless of the artist, however more and more people are collecting a particular artist’s work. Whichever your angle, these plaques certainly make striking additions to any collections!
Hi,an I have a copy of the Benny Serota Love Plaque produced in 1967 for a magazine. It is in perfect condition as it was passed on to me by my grandmother but i would like to find out who it was that made the copy.
