Showing results for "beaded bee coasters"

Glass beads have been made for centuries throughout Africa. Using a technique that has been handed down from generation to generation, our makers begin by compressing glass into a dry grain, and heating the grain so that the pieces form together. The recycled glass is rushed into a porcelain cast. The stem of a cassava leaf is used to make the hole. The beads are baked in a furnace causing the glass to melt together and cassava stem to burn, leaving only the grainy textured "sandglass" bead behind. Our makers are members of Ghana's Krobo Tribe in Western Africa. Beads have played an important role in the cultural life of many communities throughout the Continent of Africa, and remain to this day a symbol of wealth and a form of currency.

Beautiful piece! Though since I have it placed on a mirrored surface, it would be nice to not have a price sticker on the bottom which will not come off, even with goo gone.. Michele. Potomac, MD. 2022-08-08 12:26:32

The Tony Duquette Studios are located in Los Angeles, California. The company was founded in 1941 by the late American design icon Tony Duquette. As a young man, Tony Duquette created costumes and sets for Fred Astaire's musicals with Vincente Minnelli at MGM. In his eighties, he was creating unique fine jewelry for Tom Ford. In between Duquette created acclaimed costumes and sets for theater, opera, and ballet, his costumes for the original Broadway production of Camelot having garnered him the prestigious Tony Award for Best Costume. The Tony Duquette Studios were also responsible for a myriad of custom interiors for both residential and commercial installations throughout America and Europe. Tony Duquette was a well-known painter, sculptor, and jeweler. His talents as an artist were recognized throughout his life in a series of one-man museum exhibitions across the globe. Most notably in 1951, Duquette was selected by the Louvre Museum in Paris to represent the decorative arts of the middle of the 20th century, the first American ever to have been so honored. Tony Duquette died on September 9th, 1999 after a lifetime of awards and honors. Today the Tony Duquette Studios continue creating custom interiors, fine jewelry, and decorative home products for a discriminating clientele worldwide under the direction of Hutton Wilkinson who has been Tony Duquette’s business partner since 1972.
