“In the darkest of nights, even the tiniest light can guide your way.” ~French proverb

Intricate carvings saved by a centuries old method, create these illuminated translucent porcelain tiles that cast a dreamy glow from any outlet  Dark corners are transformed by every lighted masterpiece and chase away midnight shadows  

Lithophanes were an art form started in France in 1927. The artist first sketched the conceived work on the white wax. When he was satisfied he started with carving into the wax. The artist worked with knives and polishers to form the sculpture. He needed to take care of every little detail within the design. When every detail was perfect, the wax was made into a plaster cast. This was the shape used for the porcelain object. A moist porcelain paste was then pressed into the mold in a professional manner. This perfectly filled every detail of the scratched design. Due to the casting process, every fine detail is revealed by the pasta.

These are the last of their kind and all are limited editions.
