The GREEN BRIAR SERIES was an annual,dated Limited Edition of holiday cup plates introduced in 1980 and ran until 1996 for the Thornton W. Burgess Society. The commemorative series features the Burgess animal characters celebrating in specific locations from his stories such as Smiling Pool, Green Forest and the Crooked Little Path. Each 3-1/2" diameter plate was designed by Nina Sutton and the molds were engraved by artist/engraver Alvin A. White and his initials are stamped on each plate. All cup plates are hand-pressed in lead crystal by Pairpoint Glass Co. of Sagamore, Mass. (USA). This 1986 cup plate (PP#429) is amber, has a special etched 30 scallop edge and the seventh annual Limited Edition cup plate in the Green Briar series. It was introduced February 7, 1986 commemorating the 10th Anniversary of the Thornton W. Burgess Society. The plate features nine favorite animal characters circling the special plate edge. The color amber was chosen for the plate as it most resembled the bronze plaque with the same design which stands at the entrance of the Briar Patch Conservation Area. The plate is in MINT condition and comes with a copy of original pamphlet - sorry not in box.
