Description

Signed Donald Zolan 8" plate "Golden Moment". The second plate in the Children and Pets Collection. In mint condition as I have never displayed it since purchasing it about 2001 at a collectors show in Chicago. Donald Zolan was there and signed it in gold on the front of the plate. Still in original box and has certificate of authenticity and an extra paper telling Zolan's story of the plate. Has the plate number on the back of the plate and certificate.
