12.75" Michael Wainwright/Sandra Baccus Amalfi Venice Service plate/charger. Selling one of these with another available by changing qty at the time of listing, also different sized plates listed separately. I'm not totally sure if this is the Turquoise Amalfi or a different color designed exclusively for Sandra Baccus whom was a very important collector of African American art among many other things, she donated her multi-million dollar collection after her death in 2012. These plates are like new with no wear or damage, selling the plate shown with one more available. All Michael Wainwright pieces are finished with real 24K gold and real platinum. These plates are heavy and beautiful. They measure 12.5" in diameter. Many of Wainwrights designs evolved out of studies in Italy, his love of nature, his appreciation of fine art. Because he comes from the Studio ceramic art world, he creates wabi-sabi (the art of imperfection)handmade details in every piece. Inspirations of late, include the Japanese technique of Kintsugi, (Mezza Collection) and artists such as Gustav Klimt, (Vienna Collection) among others. Wainwright created his first collection of tableware in 1991, the same year he founded his company. He initially sold his wares at street fairs and craft markets, but it wasn't long before he was discovered by high-end retailers. By 1995 Wainwright's collections were being sold in national and independent luxury goods stores across the country. Today, Michael Wainwright Inc. has evolved from a one-man operation to a well-established presence in the luxury goods marketplace. His designs can be found in such luxe stores as Neiman Marcus, Bloomingdales , as well as smaller fine home stores and boutiques. Wainwright is the sole designer of every piece in his collections. Regardless of material, almost all his work is finished with 24k gold or platinum, and all designed in his Great Barrington, MA studio.

12.75" Texas Studio Art Glass Vase Michael McDougal 7" wide No cracks, chips, scratches, or restorations. Inspired by nature and known for his sense of color and elegant whimsy, Glass artist Michael McDougal lives and works in the Texas Hill Country. He was introduced to glass by Jane Duryea, protégé of Robert Willson and went on to study at the Corning Museum of Glass in New York, the prestigious Pilchuck Glass School in Washington State, under Jane Bruce, Claire Kelly & Antony Schafermeyer and Boyd Sugiki. McDougal has spent time in the "fornaces" of Murano, Italy, as well. Today, he works with his friend and mentor Jason Lawson in studios in Fischer, Texas, a small town north of San Antonio. "Glass is an astoundingly versatile medium," says McDougal."It has an inherent music in it. Working with it in molten form is rhythmic… more of a dance than a process.”  Michael Monroe, former curator and director of the Smithsonian Institution's Renwick Gallery describes a pitcher from McDougal's collection as "…capturing the essence of molten glass in a moment of frozen elegance. The handle, with its dynamic but delicate pattern is beautifully integrated to give both a sense of motion and balance to the piece." "Whether appreciating it or creating it, I love art that elicits a sense of wonder, a sense of awe, makes me grin or laugh," says McDougal. "Whether an exploration of beauty, whimsy, or that huge realm of the unknown, it must remind me that all our human stresses and strains are insignificant.” McDougal's work is featured in galleries throughout Texas and California. He has been featured in shows in Dallas, Fort Worth, San Antonio, Houston and Galveston, among other cities.

13" Benson Yazzie Navajo hand stamped sterling collar necklace. Nice piece with a built in loop to hand a hook style pendant. I measured myself after the photos were taken and it‘s 13" inside including the 2.5" flexible gap. It is very sturdy but still flexible. All precious metals are tested and guaranteed. A Native American jewelry piece referred to as "silver" or "ingot" is guaranteed to be at least 90% silver. I rarely use the word "sterling" when referring to older Native American silver or really any older silver jewelry as silver contents vary and "sterling" is 92.5% silver. No older jewelry is going to be exactly 92.5% silver, some a little over, some a little under. It wasn‘t an exact thing with handmade jewelry. I‘ve seen thousands of pieces xrf‘d to prove this. Bracelets are photographed on a 6" women‘s wrist.

1329 Gram Labradorite Specimen. 7 3/8" x 3.5" x 2", large polished specimen. There are few gemstones that display the 'play-of-color' phenomenon better than Labradorite, reds, blues, purples, yellows and more dance before your eyes as it turns in your hand but there is much more to discover about this rare beauty. The Schiller effect, labradorescence, light interference, lattice distortions are some of the scientific explanations for flashes of color in Labradorite gemstones which we can go into later but perhaps the Inuit people of Labrador in Canada explain it best by saying that the Northern Lights or Aurora Borealis were trapped within Labradorite rocks. The story goes that a mighty Eskimo warrior freed the colors that dazzle the Polar skies with blows from his spear but could not break all the rocks leaving a number of Labradorite gemstones for us to collect then carve, polish and admire to this very day. isshelf

14.25" Georg Jensen Art Deco Sterling and moonstone Choker necklace. 14.25" long<br>closed x 5/8" wide x 48.4 grams. No issues whatsoever, pictured on a 12" neck.<br><br>Georg Jensen, (born August 31, 1866, Raadvad, Denmark—died October 2, 1935,<br>Copenhagen), Danish silversmith and designer who achieved international<br>prominence for his commercial application of modern metal design. The simple<br>elegance of his works and their emphasis on fine craftsmanship, hallmarks of<br>Jensen’s products, are recognized around the world.<br><br>Jensen was apprenticed to a goldsmith at age 14. His artistic talents were<br>briefly focused on sculpture, but he returned to metalwork, primarily jewelry<br>and silver pieces, produced in the workshop he opened in Copenhagen in 1904.<br>Jensen exhibited his works at several major foreign exhibitions (winning a gold<br>medal at the Brussels Exhibition of 1910) and quickly built a reputation as an<br>outstanding and highly original silversmith. He moved to a larger workshop in<br>1912 and acquired his first factory building in 1919.<br><br>Jensen’s silverware achieved immediate popularity and commercial success. He<br>was, in fact, the first silver maker to realize a profit from the manufacture of<br>modern silver. Until Jensen’s time virtually all successful silverware producers<br>had relied on a standard repertory of popular traditional designs. Jensen,<br>however, found that the market for his sleek, simple pieces was larger than<br>anyone had predicted. His firm grew rapidly, expanding throughout Europe and<br>opening branches in London and New York City. On both continents Jensen’s work<br>set trends for contemporary tableware. He was among the first designers to<br>fashion steel—formerly considered fit only for low-quality, inexpensive<br>flatware—into handsome, serviceable cutlery.
