Assorted Bill Bell Limited Edition Decorative Plate

The three plates —"Whisker Wuu," "Not a creature was purring," and "Easter Purrade"—are part of a highly popular series of limited-edition collector plates featuring the whimsical artwork of artist Bill Bell.

• "Not a creature was purring": This is the Christmas themed plate from the collection, issued around $1993$. The title is a playful twist on the famous poem 'Twas the Night Before Christmas. The artwork typically features several kittens or adult cats in a cozy, festive holiday scene, perhaps peeking at Christmas decorations or playing with seasonal items.

• "Easter Purrade": This plate is the Easter themed entry in the series. The artwork depicts cats dressed in elaborate, colorful outfits and hats—a literal "Purrade"—alongside Easter imagery, such as an Easter Bunny, celebrating the spring holiday. It is marked as a limited edition, often including a plate number and the artist's signature on the reverse.

• "Whisker Wuu": While "Whisker Wuu" is confirmed to be part of the $7$-plate Holiday Cats set, its specific holiday theme is not immediately obvious from available search results. Given the series' focus on holidays, it is likely a Mother's Day, Valentine's Day, or general love/affection themed plate, as "Wuv" (or "Wuu") often implies a loving sentiment in this style of whimsical art.

In summary, these three plates are classic examples of the Franklin Mint collector market of the 1990s, built around the distinctive and popular cat art of Bill Bell. They represent a fun, festive slice of late-20th-century decorative collectibles, celebrated for their sentimental themes, fine porcelain quality, and precious metal accents.
