a wax casting method that has been used in India for over 4

While I am uncertain of its maker or its age

this beautiful basket also carries the spiritual and historical significance of the whale to the Makah

Lovely Little Pale Blue Bud Vase textile with birds and people a wax casting method thatThis is one of my very favorite bud vases ever, and I've collected and sold a lot of bud vases! Signed with what looks like "Jani" and stamped "Brandon Stoneware" a pottery studio in Brandon, Mississippi it has a wonderful, delicate form and is glazed the palest, most ethereal shade of blue. Really, this little vase emits an aura like radiance. Every sort of bud looks lovely in it, and it looks lovely most anywhere! 3 5 8" tall x 3 1 4" at widest
