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
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.

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
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

Collana girocollo in argento sterling Art Déco e pietra di luna di Georg Jensen da 14,25 pollici
Collana girocollo Georg Jensen in argento Art Déco da 14,25 pollici e pietra di luna. 14,25 pollici di lunghezza chiusa x 5/8 pollici di larghezza x 48,4 grammi. Nessun problema di sorta, nella foto su un collo da 12 pollici.Georg Jensen, (nato il 31 agosto , 1866, Raadvad, Danimarca—morto il 2 ottobre 1935, Copenaghen), argentiere e designer danese che raggiunse la fama internazionale per la sua applicazione commerciale del moderno design in metallo. La semplice eleganza delle sue opere e l'enfasi sull'artigianato raffinato, tratti distintivi dei prodotti Jensen, sono riconosciuti in tutto il mondo.Jensen è stato apprendista presso un orafo all'età di 14 anni. I suoi talenti artistici si sono concentrati per un breve periodo sulla scultura, ma tornò alla lavorazione dei metalli, principalmente gioielli e pezzi d'argento, prodotti nel laboratorio che aprì a Copenaghen nel 1904. Jensen espose le sue opere in diverse importanti mostre straniere (vincendo una medaglia d'oro all'Esposizione di Bruxelles del 1910) e si costruì rapidamente una reputazione come artista. argentiere eccezionale e molto originale. Si trasferì in un laboratorio più grande nel 1912 e acquistò il suo primo stabilimento nel 1919.L'argenteria di Jensen raggiunse immediatamente popolarità e successo commerciale. Fu, infatti, il primo produttore di argento a realizzare un profitto dalla produzione dell'argento moderno. Fino ai tempi di Jensen, praticamente tutti i produttori di argenteria di successo si affidavano a un repertorio standard di design tradizionali popolari. Jensen, tuttavia, scoprì che il mercato per i suoi pezzi eleganti e semplici era più ampio di quanto chiunque avesse previsto. La sua azienda è cresciuta rapidamente, espandendosi in tutta Europa e aprendo filiali a Londra e New York City. In entrambi i continenti il lavoro di Jensen ha stabilito le tendenze per le stoviglie contemporanee. È stato tra i primi designer a trasformare l'acciaio, precedentemente considerato adatto solo per posate economiche e di bassa qualità, in posate belle e utili.
