rinconada_owlRinconada Ceramics

Rinconada hand crafted ceramic animal designs are accented in platinum and 18K gold.  Each figure  is individually artisan carved, hand painted and kiln fired offering unique variations in detail and design.  There is a distinctive look to Rinconada that may be attributed to its origin in Uruguay, but whatever the reason this is ceramic artistry exemplified.

Franz_pittaFranz Porcelain

Franz Porcelain-Teapots, cups & Saucers, cream & sugars and vases all done in delicate designs- predominately florals.  Chinese studio artists turn a teacup into a butterfly, take daisies and ladybugs out of the garden to grace the table and bring a colorful bamboo songbird to life  perched in an open vase. Works of grace and beauty define the Franz line.
