What Does That Mean?
If you are unclear what a term describing one of our product means, or just need more information on exactly what our various products are made of, we hope these definitions will help.
Alabastrite
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, under-glazed, or "bisque" finish. Glazing produces a high gloss; under-glaze 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.
Frosted Acrylic
Frosted Acrylic Crystallina Effect - Acrylic items are given the French Lilac process, (used on glass), to achieve the distinctive frosted look. The unique frosted crystallina effect, used only on specially chosen art pieces, refracts light, giving objects an unusual , ice-like effect which enhances the detail of each piece.
