It reveals<br>Mark’s total fascination with nearly every conceivable aspect of life: from<br>history, children, sports, music and to wildlife of the land, sea and air.

With the help of many talented<br>craftsmen, Mark endeavors to establish an enduring legacy of high-quality bronze<br>sculpture.<br><br>It has taken half a lifetime for Mark to attain his preeminent status in the<br>world of art.

From the many challenges and experiences of his life came a<br>remarkably unique style of art.<br><br>Mark Hopkins constantly challenges himself to translate the richness of life and<br>nobility of the human soul into enduring sculptural form. In his words, “I<br>strive to express beyond the image, to catch spirit, to reveal deeper emotions,<br>and to share joy.” As he continues to rise to that challenge, his work is<br>attaining an honored place in the history of art.

She learned to make traditional pottery and storytellers from her parents. After her marriage during the World War II years, she moved to her husband Ben’s home in Zuni.

Sothis Spirit of the Moon 2 Automatic Chronograph men's watch. Limited edition 18/500, extremely clean only worn a few times condition, Authentic Breitling leather band with Sothis Hardware. This is a really beautiful and difficult to find watch, no box or paperwork, fully functional working condition with no significant cosmetic issues. SOTHIS watch brand was founded by Wolfgang Steinkrüger in 1996 in Bielefeld, Germany. The first model produced by the brand is “SPIRIT OF MOON”; with a diameter of 39mm and 3 different face variations. In 1998 the “Spirit of the moon” won a prize in the “Goldene Unruh” competition in Basel. The brand name SOTHIS is inspired by the Greek name of the Egyptian dess Sopdet. In the astrology, SOTHIS can be compared with the star SIRIUS which is to be found in the constellation of CANIS MAJOR (Big Dog). As the brightest star in the northern winter sky, this star was celebrated in the old Egyptian mythology as the dess SOTHIS who showed the old Egyptians not only the changing of the old to new years, but also the times when the River Nile would be flooded, thus flooding the fields with fertile Nile sediment which resulted in a good harvest. Sothis watches are equipped with the Chronograph calibres from the company ETA (7750, 7751, 7753 and 7754), with the exception of the calibre 2025 from Dubois Depraz. All parts are finely decorated with Pearl, Geneva stripes and tainted blue screws. Each automatic movement has a gold plated rotor with the engraved constellation of the Great Dog (CANIS MAJOR) and the brand logo in silver. Initially, the movements, hands and all other parts of the SOTHIS watches were sourced from the established suppliers based in Switzerland. Each watch was assembled exclusively in the Bielefeld workshop. After a while, the company started to use watch parts made in Germany except movements and hands. In December 2012, the brand was acquired by new owners after the demise of Wolfgang Steinkrüger in March 2012. In 2013, the new owners transferred the production to Switzerland. Movement: ETA-Valjoux 7751 customised version, finely embellished, engraved gold plated rotor Functions: hours, minutes, small seconds, full calendar, moon phases, 3-counter chronograph, self winding Case: stainless steel L 316, sapphire glass on both sides, water-resistant 5 atm Measurements: Ø 42,5 mm, height 13,9 mm Dial: black Strap: leather strap with deployment buckle, stainless steel bracelet or set Limited edition of 500 pieces

Edward Hald (1883-1980) for Orrefors, Graal Fish Vase 1963 Mid century Modern.<br>This impressive vase designed by Edward Hald is extremely heavy and thick<br>walled. The flash pattern depicts a series of fish and sea weeds. The aquarium<br>effect is significantly enhanced by the reflection of the flashed pattern on the<br>inner walls of the glass vase.Dimensions: 4.75 tal, 6 pounds. Condition: Very<br>good. No chips, cracks or repairs. Wear consistent with age; some light<br>scratches mainly on base as it's very heavy. Signature: "Orrefors Graal vr 310t<br>Edward Hald" script on the base.<br><br>A Note About the Artist: Edward Hald (1883-1980) trained as an architect and<br>painter. He studied in Dresden, Stockholm, Copenhagen and Paris. His time in<br>Copenhagen included work under Johan Rohde; in Paris he worked under Matisse. In<br>1917, Hald worked briefly at Rorstrand, and then began his long association with<br>Orrefors. At the time Edward Hald joined Orrefors in 1917, the early experiments<br>of Simon Gate and the master glassblower, Knudt Bergkvist, for the Graal<br>technique were still evolving. The Graal technique used acid etching or wheel<br>carving to create thin designs in relief on the surface of multilayer, glass<br>blanks. The carved blanks were then heated to a molten state by glassblowers,<br>encased with an additional layer of clear glass to entrap the design, and<br>finally worked with blowing to a finished state. The result was literally,<br>"painting within the glass".Edward Hald created some of the earliest designs to<br>use the Graal method. He continued to work in Graal throughout his long career,<br>including the heavy "Fish Graal" pieces first shown in 1937. Also "Slip Graal"<br>and "Aqua Graal" were favored techniques. Hald also designed many important<br>engraved pieces such as the "Fireworks" bowl. He retired from Orrefors in 1978.

Absolutely no damage or wear whatsoever.<br>This vase represents his early work he was producing at Pilchuck while gaffing<br>for Dale Chihuly.<br><br>William Morris was born in Carmel, California in 1957. He is an American glass<br>artist who has been able to change the history of art within his lifetime.<br>Morris was educated at California State University in Chico, California as well<br>as Central Washington University in Ellensburg, Washington. 
In 1978, Morris<br>arrived at the Pilchuck Glass School and found work initially as a driver.<br>Later, he worked with Dale Chihuly, the founder of the school, and eventually<br>became his chief gaffer in the 1980s. Morris remained with Chihuly for about 10<br>years as his chief assistant before deciding to form his own studio and develop<br>his own artistic style of glass blowing.<br><br>For more than twenty-five years, William Morris has captivated and intrigued the<br>art community with hauntingly evocative and beautiful glass sculptures. He has<br>captured the imagination time and again by creating objects that appear to be<br>ancient stone or woodcarvings, not the modern glass sculptures they actually<br>are. His art speaks of human origins, myth, ancestry, and ancient civilizations.<br>It symbolizes a harmony between humanity and nature and provides a ghost-like<br>bond to the world around us – a world that is often forgotten, ignored, and<br>abused.<br><br>Morris gathers much of his inspiration from ancient cultures from around the<br>world – Egyptian, Asian, Native American – all peoples who respected and admired<br>the land they inhabited. Because of this, Morris’s artwork has become something<br>all its own: culturally distinct and yet familiar to all cultures. His pieces<br>embody a spiritual quality that sharply contrasts old beliefs with those of the<br>modern world. These objects speak to our senses and continuously beg us to<br>explore them further.<br><br>Morris achieved much success during his career and retired in 2007. He spent<br>over twenty-five years honing his skills and pushing the medium of glass further<br>than anyone, including himself, could ever have imagined.<br><br>Morris’ work can be found in numerous public collections including:<br><br>The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, NY; Corning Museum of Glass, Corning,<br>NY; American Glass Museum, Millville, NJ; Hokkaido Museum of Modern Art,<br>Hokkaido, Japan; Musee Des Arts Decoratifs, Paris, France; Auckland Museum,<br>Auckland, New Zealand and the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, England.

sz 9.5 Konstantino 18k/Sterling Chalcedony ring. 14 grams, decent size, very well made, authentic, uncommon ring with no significant issues.4,000 BC In the heart of the Mediterranean, generations of alchemists, artisans and goldsmiths explored the depths of earth's most valued materials. Gold, silver, bronze and precious stones inspired the creation of fine jewelry, a creative expression of human intelligence. Through the ages, Greek goldsmiths have estab- lished an exceptionally unique presence in the history of fine jewelry, evident across the Mediterra- nean, spanning through the Archaic, Classical, Hellenistic and Byzantine eras of Greece. The indestructible nature of fine jewelry exudes -like qualities, a timelessness that surpasses the ages of style and trend. The Konstantino style emerged from the roots of these traditions, paving the way for its own unique style, one re-defining the blueprint of the classical Greek identity.1958: Birth of a legend Konstantino was born in Filiadona, a small village outside Athens where the Ancient city of Melitea once stood. There he watched his father closely as he worked on the farm, building machines and tools of his own. Here Konstantino developed a great appre- ciation for the art of hand craftsmanship.1978: A musical influence Following his love for music, the young Konstantino became a disc jockey in the city of Athens, playing everything from Carlos Santana to Lou Reed. These icons and many more, inspired a stylistic fluidity that introduced an essence of glam rock to the scene. By way of music, Konstantino began curating his own aesthetic identity, as a creative mind and style icon. Where, these legends continue to influence the rule breaking spirit that drives the design team at Konstantino to this day. about-image-4 1983: Jewelry saved my life Konstantino fled the music scene of Athens in search of an oasis, he took a trip to the island of Hydra where he lived for the next 15 years. It was on this magical island, where Konstantino fell in love with jewelry. He began collecting and curating jewelry, whereby in 1988 the first Konstantino store opened.1991: Annette Hydra is not only the birthplace of Konstantinos love for Jewelry but was also where he met his soon to be wife and creative partner, Annette. Together, from the ground up, Konstantino Jewelry soon estab- lished its presence in the US and global market.1998: Global Impact As the admiration and craze for Konstantino spread, the dream continued to grow, where now our designs can be found in 10 countries globally. With the addition of a longstanding presence in Neimans, Sax, etc. etc. Konstantino is proud to represent an evolution of the Greek style to the world of fine jewel- ry lovers.2016: A Family Future Konstantino and Annette’s children, Julian and Phaedra joined the team, further continuing the legacy of love, risk, and passion for gold smithery and design. This new generation leads with humility, knowledge and a natural instinct for the dynamic of the Konstantino brand. Preserving the core philoso- phies of the brand and expanding on its already established style, is a challenge that’s been taken on with confidence.

WTG could stand for West Texas Gas or West Texas Gulf, maybe.<br>The desk caddy is extremally heavy and 4" tall. The watch works and appears to<br>keep good time, it has minor damage to the porcelain dial at the base of the<br>dial. The case is French marked Depose, works are Swiss with no other<br>identifying marks.
