Peace on Earth -"Sweet Embrace" by Duane Geisness. Third issue in the series. Bradford Exchange, 1994. Plate size approx 8 inches. Suggested retail $70.00
A pair of harp seal pups
huddle softly together in a
cavelike crevice of arctic
ice carved out by the mother
seal. One pup sleeps
peacefully, while the other
stares out at the snow with
soulful eyes, anxious for its
mother's return.
"Sweet Embrace," is the third issue in the Peace on Earth series of collector's plates and features one of the most abundant species of seal at the most vulnerable age—harp seal pups.
With their fluffy, snow white coats, droopy whiskers, and huge ebony eyes, harp seal pups are among the most endearing creatures on earth. Happily, they are no longer hunted for their white coats, shed at two weeks of age.
This little pup need not worry about its mother's coming back. True, a female harp seal will nurse only her own baby, but she usually can locate it even among hundreds in the icy rookery, and she will greet it with a nuzzle and a kiss.
Wildlife artist Duane Geisness creates a touching portrait of the precious pups and their pristine wilderness home for us to treasure.
The creation of the tine 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.
