Pickard - Boston Museum of Fine Arts


These 8-inch plates by Pickard (in cooperation with the Boston Museum of Fine Arts) are among the nicest we've seen with Audubon birds. 

There are four plates in the series; each reflecting a season. The blue-rimmed plate showing the cedar waxwing is very hard to find. 

Set of four for $250.

Gorham China: American Wildlife Heritage

This colorful series is very unusual in that it consists of animal and bird images taken from Audubon's octavo prints.  The octavo prints are smaller versions of the original large images issued by Audubon.  The plates are extremely colorful,  have gold rims, and are from a limited edition of 2,500 for each design.  All plates are the same size, about 10-1/2 inches.
