"Forget Me Not" Wax Seal Ring
$375This hand-cast ring was modified from a much-used 19th-century Scottish wax seal.
As with all of Erica Weiner's antique and handmade jewels, this ring has a wonderful story to tell. History and humor infuse Erica's designs, which are always made with love.
The original piece had multiple stamps with wonderfully cryptic sentiments and images, all appearing in mirror-image reverse. This was so when the seal was pressed into hot wax, the text would be embossed legibly, right-side-around. It features a ring base with rustic detail intact to reference the object's utilitarian history and an orange sapphire, which creates a juxtaposition of unpolished metal and bling. Note that your ring's text will be backwards, just like the original artifact.

Following on from the 'Gin Craze' of the early eighteenth century when half of the London drinking establishments were gin bars, and later when the aristocracy of the Victorian era had 'Gin Palaces' there was a desire for specially made jugs and decanters to display how wealthy the household was. Many of these were made from hand blown glass and were known as Gin Pigs.
Gin Pigs did not always come in the form of a pig, some establishments favoured dogs or fish. With the recent renaissance of gin, with an emphasis on Scottish gin, the history of these vessels has been uncovered and the desire to recreate these is now in the hands of the expert glassblowers at Angels' Share Glass.
This Gin Pig is filled with 50ml/5cl of Artisan Scottish Gin at 40% ABV. approx 70mm diameter - it's is a miniature sized measure.

Glass Whisky Angel
$25This decorative keepsake combines whisky and art.
A true legend in Scotland's whisky-making history, "The Angels' Share" is a term for the measure of a distilled spirit's volume that is lost to evaporation whilst the whisky is maturing in its cask or barrel. This unique design by Angels' Share Glass captures the measure in a sealed glass angel through a secret process, known only to the highly skilled craftsmen who have created it.
This whisky angel holds a pewter crest adorned with a Scottish Thistle, the national flower of Scotland. Holding 25ml of Scotch single malt whisky, this remarkable design allows the spirit to be captured in the molten glass without combusting.
Approximately 70mm in height, the angel is beautifully boxed and comes complete with a delightful story.
The whisky is not for drinking and is completely sealed, so you can keep your favorite dram forever.
Tom Young MBE and daughter Karen produce beautiful glassware, creating the very best in innovative and creative concepts. Together they have supplied some of the world's leading distillers with products used for the distilling process. The idea for the business was born out of the Legend of The Angels' Share After watching a Film of the same name. Karen & Tom designed the Whisky Angel. This is now the signature product and the glassware range has evolved around whisky and spirits ever since.

Giulio Mosca Angel Sculpture
$350This sculpture by Giulio Mosca depicts an angel, in an organic and fluid form.
The work was included in Mosca's 2019 solo exhibition, "Anthropologycal Icons" at IECC Casa Colombo.
Giulio Mosca was born in Cassano Irpino Italy in 1948. He studied sculpture at Albertina Academy under the guidance of the master, Sandro Cherchi. During that time, he participated the "Conceptual Art"? (Arte Concettuale) and the "Poor Art"? (Arte Povera) movements promoted by Penone, Zorio, and other protagonists of the Post Avant Garde period.
Frequently involved in the international sphere of the Galleria Sperone, he collaborated in particular, with the American artist Sol Lewitt.
He obtained a full-time teaching position in Sculpture and the art licei in Torino, and continued to exhibit his work in international events. His sculptures and monuments are exhibited in both private and in public spaces.
He is interested in research and experimentation, and investigating different philosophical reflections surrounding the mystery of life and the role of art as a cathartic for new systems of knowledge. He expresses his art using various materials ranging from bronze to aluminum, wax and plaster, photography and paint. With Raffaella Giordana, and in collaboration with Silvana Nota, he created the project "Terra Interiore"? for the Museum of Art at Casa Colombo (MACC). Mr. Mosca lives in Moncalieri in the Province of Torino (Italy).
