ANDY CERAMICS
Andy Ceramics is a small family owned workshop which makes
original Polish pottery. This workshop is located just outside of Boleslawiec,
Poland. Many of the designs have been created by Andy’s wife. The Artisans work
very hard to produce high quality Polish Pottery products to meet the demands of
their Unikat clients. Each piece is individually handcrafted and painted in
detail. They also will custom create and modify a complete range of designs,
styles, patterns, sizes, and colors for large orders.
From the very beginning, Andy has based its business on the outstanding, yet old
traditions of the local potter in doing original Polish pottery under glaze
stamp ornamentation. This is evident in the hand-formed dishes of the finest
quality clays. They strive to connect the esthetic and the everyday-use elements
into a great harmony. Each piece is a unique masterpiece (art of fire) due to
its original and extraordinary form. Their products have been made popular due
to the beautiful shapes, rich ornamentation, and being burned in very high
temperatures, which guarantees impermeability, durability, and resistance to
damage. The pottery is guaranteed to be microwave, oven, dishwasher, and freezer
safe, as well as cadmium and lead free. A wide range of safe ecological glazes
is used for ornamentation. They have a distinct look that separates them from
other manufacturers. Their Polish pottery assortment is rich, sumptuous, and
diverse.

AROMATIQUE
The Creator of Decorative
Fragrance
Patti Upton, founder and President of Aromatique, gave
birth to this company “just for fun” when a friend asked for a special
decorative fragrance to be sold in her gift shop. Patti called her creation
The Smell of Christmas, and it turned into an overnight success; it remains
the company’s flagship fragrance today.
Patti then began a new industry, that of decorative
fragrance. This is not the traditional collection of sweet smelling dried
flowers known as potpourri, but a rich, full-bodied fragrance made from
distinctive botanicals which are carefully and artfully arranged with a
memorable scent. They are designed to serve as decorative accessories and are
renewable with Refresher Oils and Room Sprays.
Aromatique also produces a wide variety of fragrance
lines, including candles and decorative accessories. Ms. Upton developed a new
line known as “The Aromatique Bath” in 1991, assisted by the nation’s leading
personal-products experts; in 2005 they introduced The Aromatique Spa line.
Aromatique products are produced by in-house artisans who
design or choose each accessory piece and container. Much of the work is done
by hand, meaning individual attention to detail and superior quality. Their
candle wicks are lead-free and made only of zinc-core or cotton fiber.
Patti Upton was the first to artfully combine visual
elements with fragrance. Aromatique is committed to philanthropic works and has
used its money to help protect and preserve beautiful natural lands. Known for
the quality of their fragrances, Aromatique knows that fragrance defines a
person and a home. So why not use the best products available from the leader
of decorative fragrances?

CAPE
COD POLISH COMPANY
Everything Old is New Again
Caring for Your Fine Metals
Cape Cod Polish Company, Inc., is made on Cape Cod, USA
and based in Dennis, Massachusetts. W. B., founder of Cape Cod Polish Company,
said, “After nearly 25 years of restoring antique metal objects and being less
than pleased with the polishing procedure available, I began researching and
formulating my own. My goal was to make a moistened polishing cloth that would
easily remove tarnish to a brilliant mirror shine without rubbing off excessive
finish in the process. A pleasant aroma and an anti-tarnish protection were
included in that goal. I believe I succeeded.”
Cape Cod Polish cloths come in different packaging. There
is the ever popular and collectible tin filled with polishing cloths and
gloves. There is also a re-closable pouch containing the soft moistened cloths
“with just the right amount of polish on them.” These cloths clean and polish
silver, gold, brass, copper, bronze, nickel, chrome, aluminum, pewter, and
stainless steel. They contain an anti-tarnish formula which makes the shine
last longer. In addition, they have a pleasant vanilla fragrance. These cloths
may be used over and over, however discolored.

whiter, denser clan, and incorporates more intricate designs and shapes. The
quality of Ceramika Artystyczna’s glazing is unsurpassed. The coffee pot with

with a “B” on top, is the manufactures seal of authenticity. Most of CA’s
workers are women, including the president, and many are graduates of the

COLONIAL
TRUST:
Fine Reproductions
A Brand Name of Foreign Advisory
Colonial Trust provides a complete selection of
reproduction categories in historically important designs; the timeless beauty
of historic brass and silver-plate items make them a classic line for gifts.
These products are hand-cast and hand-finished. Every Colonial Trust candle
holder, sconce, or decorative accessory is carved by hand in wood, then pressed
into finely textured sand, creating a hollow mold. A unique formula of molten
brass is then poured into the mold to cast the duplicate shapes. The solid brass
casting is hand-finished, then coated with a protective layer of durable lacquer
to ensure years of tarnish-free use and enjoyment. Items can simply be cleaned
with a soft, damp cloth; polish or other abrasive cleaners will damage the
lacquer finish. Reproduction items include chamber sticks (used by colonists
and sea captains), taper sticks (for sealing private envelopes with melted wax),
and doorknockers. Each item is packaged in a new, beautiful gift box with a
small hang tag about the use and care of Colonial Trust’s fine brass.
COPPER CRAFT

annually by Giftbeat Magazine. Copper Craft designs and manufactures
almost all their brass products in their Topeka, Kansas facility. Each design
is hand-made, then individually polished and lacquered to preserve the finish
for many years. Cleaning requires only a soft, damp cloth—household cleaning
products can damage lacquered brass finishes.

their product line. These items are designed in their Kansas studio and
manufactured overseas. Individually hand-cast in resin and available in a
variety of unique hand-painted, antique finishes, they have been well received.

Fenton Glass Company was founded by two brothers, Frank L.
Fenton and John W. Fenton; they pooled Frank’s $280 and John’s $4.80 in 1905 to
launch a glass decorating business larger than their funds should have
provided. Several investors came aboard, and their brother Charles, an
experienced glass decorator, joined them. They purchased glass from nearby
manufacturers and designed decorative motifs to be hand-painted on the glass.
Four young women who were experienced glass decorators were hired, and their
work helped increase the company’s popularity. Today, the family-owned and
managed company is located near the Ohio River in Williamstown, West Virginia
and produces glass in the USA handcrafted by skilled artisans. Fenton glassware
is collected worldwide, particularly their iridescent Carnival Glass. Few
occupations can match the romance and beauty of the glassblower’s art. Glass is
made by hand, using tools and techniques that have seen little change since
Fenton Art Glass produced its first items in 1907. Even items using cast iron
moulds are first shaped by skilled glassblowers.

A HUNDRED PEARLS
Lumen Solis
Lumen Solis jewelry, distributed by A Hundred Pearls, is
hand painted, fired in high temperatures, and set in either tin or silver and
made in Poland. The specific method used to manufacture their
jewelry—fusing—makes their pendants, earrings, rings, and brooches unique and
extraordinary. Women who value originality, class, and refined style will be
enchanted by the small works of illusion enclosed in this beautiful glass art.
The effect of their unique glass fusion makes the Lumen
Solis jewelry shimmer with impressive colors and light like a mosaic and
stained-glass piece all at the same time. These types of ornaments-on-glass are
interwoven with light strokes of paint and elaborate clearings, combining
sophistication and delicate abstraction. This jewelry is also concrete, with
small elements creating subtle, fine openwork design including filigree details
intertwining so that convexity changes into concavity and vice versa.
Lumen Solis presents original jewelry especially in the
realm of color. Spreading pastel colors, hypnotizing depth, serious blues,
lunar whites, browned cadmiums, delicate gildings, harsh reds, and the conscious
use of contrast create quite an interesting display.
The Lumen Solis jewelry is a projection of talent and
imagination for scrupulous collectors of both—motifs and their own fantasies.
They create a world born by geometry as well as by processed impressions
resulting from observation of nature—a world ruled by mystery, whim, surprise,
and a bit of melancholy of something elusive, given only to a dream dominated by
expression of temperament and passion.
Pendants, earrings, rings, and brooches by
Lumen Solis will certainly satisfy longings lying dormant in a woman’s being for
beautiful objects. These ornaments emphasize refined elegance and chic;
reflecting individual style and personality, as well as, states of emotion.
