Carved by the implacable grinding of massive rivers of ice a millennium ago, St. Mary Lake in Glacier National Park, Montana sparkles like a multi-faceted sapphire nestled in a breathtaking setting of diamond-capped mountains.
Eagles sail majestically over the crested waves like the magnificent American Clipper ships that once plied the oceans. These ships brought a vast wealth of goods for trade in our port cities, and an even richer treasure of emigrants filled with dreams, hopes, and a shining spirit that built this land into the sovereign nation of the world.
With a high, skirling cry, a Bald Eagle effortlessly rides the buoyant currents of air in stately circles, rising like an angel amid the purple mountain cathedrals. Free from the chains of tyranny, soaring higher than the clouds, it is no wonder our forefathers chose this proud, great-hearted emperor to carry America's honor and glory upon its far-spanning wings.
Amid the panoramic backdrop of Glacier National Park, artist Frank Mittelstadt presents the awesome spectacle of our nation's proud symbol — the Bald Eagle.
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.
