Vintage 1988 “A Curious Pair” Collector Plate by Ron Parker – Hamilton Collection – Nature’s Quiet Moments Series

Bring a touch of woodland serenity to your fall cottage décor with “A Curious Pair” from artist Ron Parker’s Nature’s Quiet Moments plate collection. Produced in 1988 by The Hamilton Collection, this limited-edition porcelain plate captures two curious raccoons peeking from their forest hollow—rich in lifelike detail and framed with a shimmering 22k gold rim. A perfect piece for wildlife collectors or rustic woodland vignettes, it adds warmth and nostalgia to any display shelf or cabin wall.

Ron Parker’s wildlife art gained popularity through the late 1980s as part of the North American fine art wildlife movement, celebrated by publishers like Mill Pond Press. His works often reflect quiet, intimate scenes of forest life—highlighting emotional depth in animal expressions rather than grand landscapes. Collector plates like this were especially treasured during the 1980s boom in decorative fine art collectibles.
