Quantity:
When Dreams Blossom collection, "Where Friends Dream" by Renee McGinnis. Second issue in the series. The Bradford Exchange, 1994. Plate size approx 8.25 inches. Suggested retail $50.00.

A fresh bouquet in an old-fashioned brass vase, two leather-bound volumes of poetry, a sumptuously printed invitation from a friend —and romance and nostalgia are in the air for artist Renee McGinnis's second issue in the When Drams Blossom collection of limited-edition plates.

These objects look utterly intriguing, and one is tempted to ask who sent the lovely tulips and lilac and lily of the valley? Who wrote these poems and what are they about? What is the occasion for the formal-looking invitation?

Once again, this dreamy still life is bordered by an ornate double "frame" that looks like precious hammered gold. On the soft lilac mulberry paper that holds inner and outer frame together, Ms. McGinnis has placed delicate scrolls and shell-like ornaments. They are burnished to a rich, dark gold tone, which adds a further
note of elegance and mystery to this lovely picture.

Perhaps this particular dream is just a wish for good things to happen. However that may he, may the outcome he as beautiful and as memorable as this unique plate!

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.
