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

You open your door and there they are! Two adorable kittens in an old-fashioned basket. They look up at you with wide round eyes and they are irresistible. You can almost imagine what they'd say if they could only talk.

-I'm Andrew,- the one with the blue ribbon would declare. -I'm Abby,- Miss pink ribbon would chime in. -Won't you please give us a home?-

Such soft, soft fur and such
long, long whiskers! You can hardly resist reaching out to pat those soft little heads. Of course, adopting two kittens means you'll be taking on quite a bit of responsibility. So you'll have to find just the right place for -Andrew and Abby.-

Isn't it lucky that these kittens are simply wonderful paintings by artist/biologist Alexei Isakov? And that, as re-created on fine porcelain, they and all their fellow kittens in the Baskets of Love collection, will delight you and other admirers for years to come.

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 faith fully 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.
