About the Item

Bell Set I by Elliot Bergman available from LMD/studio. Set of nine bronze bells in sizes medium, large and extra large. "Bells have an inherent power. They have captivated me since my Great-Grandmother gave me some of her Swiss cowbells before she died. Since those first gifts, which still hang on my bell wall, my collection has grown as I’ve travelled the world. I’ve brought back duffle bags full of bells from my travels in India, finding it hard to resist the beautiful bells that are woven into the fabric of daily life there. I’ve bought mask-shaped wooden bells in Nairobi and I’ve traded bells with members of the Massai tribe, who wanted my Casio keyboard so badly they went into the field and cut off a number of cold-forged iron goat bells with a machete. I’ve watched JCR cowbells being made by hand in the Bronx and I’ve seen Paolo Soleri’s bronze bells being poured at Arcosanti. I love the sounds, shapes, forms, textures, and patinas of these instruments. Bells can sound an alarm, mark the passing of time, save a boxer from his opponent, help herd animals, punctuate a wedding or act as a portal to transcendent states of consciousness. Sound and vibration have incredible power; the power to heal, the power to move people and an ability to awaken neglected or forgotten parts of our humanity. These bells that I have produced over the past two years are my exploration of some of these themes. The overtones that they produce are complex and rich, and when played in concert they are sometimes consonant, sometimes dissonant. They are not tuned to a traditional scale, they ask you to listen and explore the relationship between them, other instruments and the player. These bells are a joy to play and a source of constant wonder for me. Working in bronze is intense and difficult, but the end product of the process still has a mysterious quality. How does it do that? How do all of these complex sounds exist in this simple vessel form? It’s that mystery that will keep me making and loving bells for many years to come." - Elliot Bergman. Material: Bronze. Manufacture date: 2014. Bells by Elliot Bergman are also available individually.

Delphos Salad Bowl Set by Libbey

By Libbey Glass Co.

Located in New Orleans, LA

Comprised of a platter and serving bowl, this incredibly intricate salad set was crafted in the desirable Delphos pattern by the Libbey Glass Company. Stunning fields of diamonds are cut with immense precision, making this pattern one of the most dazzling American Brilliant Period cut glass patterns ever created. A banana bowl adorned in the Delphos pattern is featured in Rarities in American Cut Glass by Herbert Wiener and Freda Lipkowitz on page 19. The bowl and platter bear the Libbey acid-etched mark. The Libbey Glass Company was the foremost and most respected producer of the best cut glass of the Brilliant Period. From its very inception, the Libbey Glass Company assumed and maintained a prominent position, considered second to none in the production of premium American glass. The company was founded in 1818 in Cambridge, Massachusetts and was known as the New England Glass Company. In 1878, William L. Libbey leased the company, changing the name to the New England Glassworks, LLC, Libbey and Sons, Proprietors. His son, Edward Drummond Libbey, took over the operation in 1883 and, in 1888, he closed the Massachusetts factory and moved to Toledo, Ohio, renaming the company the Libbey Glass Company. Libbey became the largest cut glass factory in the world during the Brilliant Period (1878-1915). The company's incredible exhibit at the 1893 Chicago World's Fair propelled Libbey's world-wide reputation. They brought 130 of their most skilled craftsmen to blow and cut glass, awing spectators by demonstrating the complicated and precise process of transforming raw molten glass into dazzling works of art. Today, examples of Libbey cut glass...
