Elegant Bookend by Pate De Verrre Crystal Award

Pate de Verre as a material, is a 24-percent lead crystal paste made from specially produced batches of granular crystal. The creation of items in pate de verre through the "lost-wax" technique is a very complex and time consuming process requiring abundant skills. The result after the successful application of these skills are true works of art, possessing an unique translucency, texture and substance, which cannot be achieved with blown glass or molded glass. *US Copyrighted
