Not your Grandmother's Porcelain

The Perfect Gift

8/17/2017

My dear friend is getting married next year. She set up an online registry for gifts, which is a great idea for the newlyweds who don't want to return duplicate gifts. But..., what if I could give her something that would surprise her and she wouldn’t want to return it to the store? What if I gave her a gift that is also a historical record of the family, a gift she would cherish and pass down for generations?

I can make the perfect gift. A gift for newlyweds, new home owners, anniversaries and birthdays.
The Perfect Gift is a pottery wheel thrown, hand sculpted, one of a kind piece of artwork depicting the house that became a home. The vase is useful for flowers or other items, yet you will never need to use space under your sink to store it. It looks gorgeous empty.

I make all vases from fine porcelain clay. Each vessel is carefully hand sculpted to show off the beauty of their home.

This vase is 10" tall The Perfect Gift is only $245.00. Shipping is a flat $15.00 fee. Allow four weeks for delivery. A photograph of the home is required before I can start The Perfect Gift.

TELL ME ABOUT YOUR WEDDING EVENTS

A nice lady came into my Cincinnati gallery today from San Diego. She told me she was in town for a wedding and the wedding has four events planned. The first event was a full blown affaire at a distillery. The next event was held in a Contemporary Fine Art Hotel with fine attire, cocktails and art.

This day she and other guests will be bussed from downtown to the suburban Jewish temple for the actual wedding ceremony, followed by an onsight reception. Tomorrow a brunch will be served for guests. This sounds like so much fun. A chance to really spend time with the guests.

I wonder how you celebrated your wedding or how you plan to celebrate your wedding. Please write to and share your plans. I will post as many as I can. Include a photo if you would like. Send them to Gail@gaillundgrenfineart.com. I can't wait to hear from you.

Grandma had a collection of China tea cups and saucers

In my Grandmother's house were pine shelves flanking either side of the fireplace. All the shelves were lined with colorful china tea cups and matching saucers. Porcelain is the china clay that the cups and saucer sets were formed. Originally, porcelain clay was found only in China, so that all things made with this porcelain clay was deemed china.

When I was a child, I stared at my Grandmother's tea cup collection and wondered why she had so many.    She drank tea, but did she drink out of all the cups? I thought, I should take notice if she drank from a different one each day I visit. Clearly, I had not yet learned the art of collecting.

Over the years,  I studied the shapes of the cups with the handles. Each handle cascading off the unique sloping surface. I marveled at the line-up of tea cups and matching saucers leaning behind the cups like backdrops to a play. The real star was the cup and it’s fancy handle and the wonderful painted colors.

My porcelain artwork lines up very pretty and the sculpted design is the star. Every shape formed becomes the backdrop.   That is as close as my porcelain comes to Grandma’s porcelain.

Grandma’s collection takes me back to a quiet time when we truly sat still and quiet. We really enjoyed the look of our collection. Time moved slower. I can’t go back to her house, but I can make something new out of the china clay used in those cups.    I could call my artwork china. It would be the truth.
