The thunderclouds have rolled away to reveal the silver majesty of the full moon. The air is redolent with the freshness of rain and rich, moist earth. A loon gracefully drifts out from the reeds, his moon-dappled plumage like a mirrored image of the arching midnight sky above. The downpour has freshened the lake water, raising it high enough for the old mill's waterwheel to turn slowly. It lifts the pure water like a child trying to catch minnows in his hands, the water running from between cupped fingers and splashing back with a carefree giggling sound.

A faint breeze stirs the trees, showering droplets down on the lake's glossy surface. The loon calls to his mate like the ghost of an Indian brave calling his beloved. She answers, true to her lifelong mate for eternity.

The haunting, romantic cry brings a swell of peace to your heart and soul. The storm has passed ... and the devoted loons safeguard the serenity of the night.

Find peace in the profound mystery of the loon in his midnight haven with artist Jim Hansel's "Serene Sanctuary."

The creation of the fine collector's plate you have just acquired and whose authenticity is certified by this document is the result of work by an international cadre of skilled artisans. After the plate art was created in the United States, a fine ceramic transfer, incorporating pigments carefully chosen to faithfully re-create the vibrant beauty of the artist's original, was created in France and Germany and permanently fired into the fine Japanese porcelain plate body at more than 1,460° Fahrenheit by talented craftsmen and craftswomen in the United States.
