PROUDLY PRODUCED IN CANADA!
Each RCMP 150th Anniversary Commemorative Collector Plate begins as a clear glass plate which becomes transformed into an exceptional, high quality keepsake. With many complex steps from start to finish, the creation process poses a high degree of difficulty. The delicate procedures result in the brilliantly rich crackle which receives and illuminates light and provides a unique element of depth to each piece. These remarkable heirlooms are rendered individually by Bonnie, with all processes administered on the backside of the glass.
Each 8" plate is framed in a black, 11"open faced solid wood shadow box lined with royal blue ultra suede and the RCMP Tartan as the backdrop or Royal Red Ultra Suede as an option. Two custom engraved black plaques which sit on the frame add a personalized touch to these mementos, which can be either wall mounted or displayed on a stand. Included is a Certificate of Authenticity that is signed by Bonnie Saunders and applied to the backside of the frame. This is a great added feature for future generations to appreciate.
Glass Treasures by Bonnie Saunders is an Approved Vendor by the RCMP Foundation.

"When thinking of a person that deserves such a beautiful commemorative plate to recognize exemplary service and an outstanding career with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, retired Assistant Commissioner Peter Clark, is top of my list. He also goes over and above volunteering hours within his community at Vermilion, Alberta.
When Bonnie was approached to design Peter’s gift, she jumped at the chance to honor his service. Her detail and professionalism is outstanding. Peter’s reaction to the presentation, was to say the least of true admiration for her work, and how impressed he was with the detail. This is a keepsake that he will hold close to his heart. Thank you Bonnie for designing a gift that was a great surprise! We would highly recommend ‘Glass Treasures’ to anyone looking for an original creation to celebrate a special recognition."

"Bonnie Saunders with Glass Treasures had consulted with our Unit for a unique and appropriate gift for those who have rendered service to our Unit. The RCMP’s Federal Intelligence Team in Alberta is a unit of the RCMP dedicated to serving Canadians. We are a small group of RCMP employees who are dedicated to our craft and Bonnie’s creation of a unique plate resonates with all of us who have served in the Intelligence Team within the RCMP. Anyone can see from the final product that Bonnie is a master at her craft. She was so helpful to talk to and is a continuing help to us in finding a meaningful way to recognize our employees and those who have helped our Team.
