Reclaimed Pottery Necklaces

Wendy Gabriel — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 20:10:15 +0000

These pretty pink and blue necklaces are handmade from the broken remnants of 1960s-era Willow dishes. Also know as “Willow Ware,” this china was produced throughout the 1900s and is highly sought after by collectors for the beautiful, detailed images telling an ancient Chinese love story.

A lovely link to the past, the china is salvaged from the Pennsylvania Amish Country in an effort to help the environment and protect wildlife by removing this hazard. Each piece still maintains the original Willow pattern and is finished with sterling silver wire. Handmade in Pennsylvania by artist Laura Bergman. Includes a card detailing the story of the china.
