Time Is Flying By

Time IS flying by! And before we know it the summer will be over! After such high temperatures I'd be lying if I said I wish summer was longer. I'll be welcoming the slightly cooler temperatures.

We're sorry we haven't been posting as often as we'd like. We've been busy creating new product hopefully for the October show. It seems very far off, but development in this field takes months. Our ideas and concepts originate here in our NJ office. Artwork is then sent to our lithographers either in Germany, France or Portugal where they turn our hand painted designs into intricate decals using natural occurring oxides such as cobalt and iron. Once the decal artwork is approved it's then sent to Portugal to be fired onto each individual piece and then shipped back to the USA to our warehouse.

Because our patterns are soooo detailed and complicated the approval process goes back and forth a number of times before it is ready to be introduced into the normal production line. Often the lithographers have to figure out a way to create what we're asking for because it's not easy or has never been done before. We push our designs to bring you the highest quality available in the market, which is virtually impossible to copy.

Keep checking back! I promise to update the blog at least once a week during this busy period.
