Product Information

Alabastrite

Alabastrite is our product line name for polyresin items. Alabastrite is made from oxylite and polystone which forms a stone-based material that can be intricately molded and will allow paint to adhere. Cold-cast. Clean by dusting; do not wash with water as they are painted with water soluble paints.

Porcelain

Fine ground white clay, molded and fired in an oven for eight hours at 1200 degrees. Finished with a glazed, underglazed, or "bisque" finish. Glazing produces a high gloss; underglaze produces a matte finish. Bisque is a matte finish without glaze. After finishing, the item is "cooked" for six hours at 800 degrees.

Patchwork

European designer fabric is stretched over Ceramic figurines, then coated with twelve layers of lacquer. Each application of lacquer is hand-polished, for a rich shine and an ultra-smooth finished texture. The texture of the fabrics can only be seen in the final pieces, not felt, because of the twelve layers of lacquer covering them.

Hong Tze

Items are created using a special stone found in China, and known for its deep red color. The stone is pulverized, mixed with a binding agent and molded, much like alabastrite. Hong Tze pieces are highly polished, further bringing out the intense deep red of the stone

Jade Porcelain

Jade porcelain is a type of porcelain made with a finer clay. Usually no glaze or only a colorless glaze will be applied at the final firing to show off the very smooth surface and to preserve the translucency. Jade porcelain is used for night lights because of its high degree of translucency when lit.

Dolomite

A magnesia-rich, sedimentary rock resembling limestone, dolomite is either gray, pink or white in color.

Sterling Silver

To qualify as "sterling" a given piece must be composed of a least 92.5% pure silver.

Gold

The ultimate precious metal. Virtually indestructible, amazingly malleable, doesn't rust or tarnish. Graded by purity; in the U.S. a scale of 24 is used, so 24 Karats (24K) is 100% pure. 18K is 18 parts gold and 6  parts alloy (other metals), and so on. 10K is the legal minimum for Karat-graded gold. The word "Plumb" indicates the exact purity of the piece.
