Winter Evening Reflections collection, -As Twilight Falls- by artist Steven R Kozar. First issue in the series. The Bradford Exchange, 1995. Plate size approx. 8.5 by 6.25 inches. Suggested Retail $50.00.

Farmed by the same family since the late ninteenth century, these rich and fertile heartland acres, edged by a great forest and intersected by a rambling fresh water stream, have served their owners well.

Bumper harvests of grain, season after season, abetted by herds of sleek dairy cows and plump pigs and flocks of chickens and geese, made the family prosperous enough to acquire a fine farmhouse. Built when both materials and labor cost very little, it has ably weathered the years.

It stands on a rise of land, proudly surveying the rich farmland all around it. Celebrated watercolorist Steven R. Kozar has captured the fine old structure just as the setting sun transforms the landscape around it with breathtaking colors of lavender and gold. Reflections of the solitary tree, the rustic fence and the sunset hues shimmer in the stream.

Re-created on fine porcelain from a panoramic print by Mr. Kozar, this scene is a masterpiece in itself. But it is only part of the whole picture. With this plate and the three to come, you will possess the whole gorgeous scene!

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 degreees Fahrenheit by talented craftsmen and craftswomen in the United States.
