This week we are celebrating our feline companions in honor of National Cat Day, which is held on October 29th. To our many customers who have requested more cat-themed collectibles, keep a look out this week for more posts featuring our favorites!

VENACATSIn the small village of Boleslawiec, Poland, skilled artisans continue the tradition of Polish folk art with our hand-painted Polish Pottery cat sculptures that we couldn’t help but name. Each piece is handcrafted of stoneware, meticulously hand-painted using hand-carved sponges and fine brushwork, then glazed and fired at high temperatures for everlasting beauty.

Reigning Cats & Dogs

savaSince 1966, Ermengildo and his wife Renata have been crafting and decorating exquisite blown-glass ornaments in the picturesque village of Bellagio, overlooking Italy’s Lake Como. Together with their daughter Annalisa, they create highly collectible glass ornaments. With remarkable craftsmanship, each ornament is carefully hand-blown using traditional techniques as they gather a dab of molten glass at the end of a tube, and then heat it over a flame as they gently blow to inflate the shape. To finish, the ornaments are then hand-painted with charming motifs honoring our animal friends.

Uno Alla Volta's "Enchanted Garden" Kaleidoscope

Renowned among collectors, Massimo Strino, originally from Naples, now of Australia, crafts some of the world’s most breathtaking kaleidoscopes. Handcrafted in meticulous detail, they transport the beholder to a bygone era and create a sense of wonder – even before peering into the glass to gaze upon the magnificent display of color. Since 2008, Massimo has been dazzling Uno Alla Volta customers with works available nowhere else in all the world.

Uno Alla Volta's "Enchanted Garden" Kaleidoscope

Our 2014 edition, the “Enchanted Garden” is his finest yet. A feast for the senses, each mesmerizing scope is constructed, in Massimo’s New York City studio, of brass lamp parts and bedecked with hand-carved and polished onyx, richly colored enamels and thousands of meticulously handset Swarovski crystals. Each comes with a crystal encrusted LED flashlight to shine upon the hummingbirds and sunflowers while they revolve to the tune of “Over the Rainbow.”
