Bottled Up Designs Blue Willow Rectangle Pendant & Earrings
()
|
Nearly every home in our country contains a specimen of some kind of the famous Willow Ware. The romantic lore of the design and deep cobalt color against the white porcelain has added to its popularity over the years. Now artist Laura Bergman gracefully showcases this unique pattern as exquisite jewelry. As you wear it you can cite the familiar willow pattern jingle to your friends -
'Two birds flying high,
A Chinese vessel, sailing by.
A bridge with three men, sometimes four,
A willow tree, hanging o'er.
A Chinese temple, there it stands,
Built upon the river sands.
An apple tree, with apples on,
A crooked fence to end my song.
At Bottled Up Designs, as a master glass cutter, Laura polishes and molds the recycled porcelain to eliminate any sharp edges. She then skillfully mounts it in delicate spirals of sterling hoops to produce enchanting pendants and earrings that catch attention with every move!
Half the fun of owning this exquisite handmade jewelry is sharing the Story of the Glass, so the artist includes a card with each selection relating the approximate age and original use of the antique dishware. Imagine that! USA
Please note, due to the vintage nature of the porcelain, expect variations in thickness, and color
