This Holiday Splendor Collection has been inspired by an old world-Eastern European family, who for almost 200 years had been painting beautiful miniature lacquered paper- many boxes, inlaid with mother of pear. It took years of perfecting this technique to They are made, as in the old days- from 1.5 mm handblown Mercury Glass, silver powdered from the inside and then sandblasted from the outside. The combination of colors and the multi-layer painting techniques create a deep iridescent effect. We take pride in perfecting every piece by adding touches of gold, finishing them with a lovely satin ribbon, and presenting them in a luxurious satin-lined box. Hand-made in the USA, every piece is unique- and will be passed on to future generations to cherish.
