Small Handpainted Mardi Gras Tray

Grace Pierson Robken has been known for many years as a porcelain doll artist. Her love of art, creative design and original expression has cultivated the unique style she now implements using her own designs on ceramic and glass.

No piece is identical. Nothing is stenciled or copied, but meticulously painted as an individual handcrafted work of art. Grace has her own unique style of painting on glass and ceramic. The paint is not mixed, but rather layered color on color, sometimes with as many as six separate layers of paint, to achieve exciting new shades and deep, rich colors. Grace also signs each piece.

The paint and materials used the process is certified by the Art & Creative Materials Institute, insuring that all ceramic and glassware art contain no materials in sufficient quantities to be toxic or injurious to humans or to cause acute or chronic health problems.

Each piece is not only beautiful, but durable delicately fired to make it dishwasher safe. (However, hand washing in hot, soapy water is still recommended. Jeweled pieces should always be washed by hand.)
