Vases going to Florida (and so are we)

Round_vases_for_gallery_morada

Today we're shipping a lovely set of round vases off to Gallery Morada in the Florida Keys. They have sold our vases for years, and are just now starting to show our wallpieces. The wallpieces they're showing are listed on our site here (only one so far, but another will be on its way soon).


It so happens we're also on our way to Florida for David's father's 90th birthday next week. We will be back to normal operations on 30 or 31 January, in time to prepare for ACC Baltimore, where we will be showing from 24-26 February, in booth 1002A.

A New Tabard Menorah

Here is the newest Tabard Menorah in the 'Saddle' limited edition. This one, #7 of 20, is the first to use red copper for the tabard piece. I've also recently completed another menorah in a new style related to the Tabards, but bigger and bolder. I will post photos of that when I have a chance to take them.

A full set of antique blue lens vases

6_antique_blue_lens_vases_-_fp

I just made a full set of lens vases in the color we call antique blue. Antique blue contains ultramarine pigment - the only pigment we use in any of our patinas - in a copper nitrate base. Ultramarine pigment was once derived from grinding up lapis lazuli, and the look of the patina - especially in this set of vases - reflects that origin. This set of vases is on its way to Mowen Solinsky Gallery.
