| Platters Book Ends | |||
Fossil Stoneware Serving Platters:These platters come from the Sahara Desert in Morocco that was a seafloor some 450 million year ago. This very hard limestone was laid down over millions of years and is particularly rich in ammonites and Orthoceras (long shelled cephalopods related to nautiloids). Tremendous labor was required to cut these out of solid rock, grind them to shape, and polished them to a glassine finish. Look all you want but, at 20 by 12 inches, you won't find any as large, nor with quality as fine. Most of the Atlas Mountain stoneware is black, but these are an earthtone brown. These platters work well to adorn a dinner table, fireplace mantel, or hung on the wall, or any of a number decorative uses. Actual item is pictured - each is one-of-a kind. |

Fossil Stoneware Book Ends:These book ends come from the Saraha Desert in Morocco that was a seafloor some 450 million year ago. This very hard limestone was laid down over millions of years and is particularly rich in ammonites and Orthoceras (long shelled cephalopods related to nautiloids). Tremendous labor was required to cut these out of solid rock, grind them to shape, and polished them to a glassine finish. Each pair weighs some 6.2 pounds, and each end stands some 7 inches high, on a firm base measuring about 3.5 by 2.5 inches. Actual item is pictured - each is one-of-a kind. |
