PRODUCT INFORMATION
The
following information is offered to give you an idea of what some of
our products are made of.
Alabastrite
Alabastrite is a stone-based material which can be intricately molded producing great
detail, and will allow paint to adhere. These items may be cleaned by dusting, however,
they should not be washed 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 Items
Unique fabric or paper prints are applied to the surface of
porcelain, dolomite or polyresin items. After application, 12 layers of lacquer are added
and the item is hand polished to a high gloss between each layer.
Hong Tze
To closely emulate a special stone found in China which is known for
its deep red color, these items are created using an alabastrite polyresin. Hong
Tze pieces are highly polished, further bringing out the intense, deep red color.
