Europe's greatest wild bird artist creates 
his first porcelain bowl 
Shown less than actual size ot 1(T in diameter 
'The Game Bird Bowl’ by Basil Ede. 
Hand-decorated in 24 karat gold and issued in limited edition. 
The art of Basil Ede is known and collected 
the world over. It has earned him critical 
acclaim as "the outstanding wild bird 
portraitist of his generation." And he is one 
of the few British artists ever honored with a 
one-man show at America's Smithsonian 
Institution. 
'The Game Bird Bowl' is Ede's first porce- 
lain bowl. A work unlike any other he has 
ever created. An achievement to be trea- 
sured, and kept in your family for genera- 
tions. And you are invited to acquire this 
work now. 
Crafted in fine white porcelain — the per- 
fect background for the sweeping lines and 
rich natural hues of Basil Ede's art — the 
bowl will be a showpiece. Its subject is the 
beautiful Black Grouse, portrayed in its nat- 
ural habitat on the Scottish moors. To add 
the final touch of elegance and refinement, 
the bowl will be hand-decorated, at the 
crown and at the base, with bands of pure 
24 karat gold . The original issue price is $150. 
Each bowl will be produced to individual 
order by Franklin Porcelain, the only house 
ever authorized to issue Basil Ede's work 
in porcelain. Responsibility for its crafting 
will be entrusted to our associates in Japan, 
where artistry in porcelain represents a 
heritage some four centuries old. 
In keeping with established tradition for 
fine works in porcelain, the bowl will be 
issued for a limited period of time. Advance 
orders are being accepted until August 31, 
and the bowl will be withdrawn forever at 
the end of 1982. A Certificate of Authentic- 
ity, together with a commentary on the art of 
Basil Ede, will accompany the work. 
To acquire 'The Game Bird Bowl', please

ordering deadline of August 31, 1981.
