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 1982 cup plate(PP#147) is a light green, double-single-double scallop edge, and the third annual Limited Edition cup plate in the series. It features one of the favorite settings from Thornton W. Burgess adventures of Peter Rabbit. In this scene, "Peter seeks the safety of the briars as Reddy Fox stalks along the Crooked Little Path. Overlooking the moonlit Briar Patch is Hooty Owl, perched high in the old willow tree." The date, 1982 is in foreground boulder. The plate is in MINT condition and comes with original pamphlet - sorry not in box.
