Spring Soapstone

These are lovely. The soapstone has natural color gradations, with some lovely touches of pale pink and light grey intermingling with the medium grey that predominates. They are substantial pieces, and the talent and artistry of the sculptor is obvious. The owls are identical in size, but there are individual variations that make it easy to see each is one of a kind. I was also delighted to see that the upright portion on each bookend is actually carved to resemble a book! Delightful!

I purchased last two, as the notification on the site informed, and the items came very well packed, very securely packed, which is understandable after seeing the beauty of these creations. I will cherish them for years and I'll keep them on the honored display, at all times. This lacelike work in the soapstone is unseen nearly anywhere else today, in our very technical and geometric world. These jars are of the museum quality. Thank you very much!

Our elephants make any space more fun and beautiful. The carving details are lovely. These make substantial and thoughtful gifts for those we love.
