Baskets of Love collection, -Heather & Hannah- by Alexei Isakov. Fourth issue in this series. Bradford Exchange, 1993. Plate size approx. 8.25 inches. Suggested retail $50.00.

The world's a wonderful, but oh so puzzling place, for these two little kittens. That's obvious from the dazed look in those wide gray/blue eyes. After all, they were just wrestling a little when their basket tipped over and dumped them out. Their amazed expressions clearly say: -What happened-

This precious pair of long-hair kittens — a Scottish folded-ear and a Sea1point Burmese — are featured in -Heather & Hannah,- Plate Four in the Baskets of Love collection by artist Alexei Isakov. Once again, this master of feline artistry gives us a portrait of kittens that is startlingly lifelike. Can't you almost feel the soft, soft fur, the silky scarf, the nubby blanket?

It's an easy bet that these two mischief-makers will recover quickly from their momentary shock. In a minute or two those oversized paws will begin batting back and forth, and these two little furballs
will be head over heels.

Alexei Isakov's unique artistry once again gives us kittens so irresistably real, we almost expect to hear them miaow. Best of all, as re-created on fine porcelain, -Heather & Hannah- will keep their baby charm forever.

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.
