Alabastrite is a stone-based polyresin material which can be
intricately molded producing great detail, and will allow paint to
adhere. These items should not be washed with water as they are painted
with water soluble paints. Many garden items are created with
Alabastrite with a sand finish to appear like stone.
Jade Porcelain
Jade porcelain is a made with a finer clay. Usually no glaze or only a
colorless glaze will be applied at the final firing to show off the
very smooth surface and to preserve the translucency. Used for night
lights due to its high degree of translucency.
Stoneware
White clay with fine ground stone. Working with stoneware demands great
expertise. Safe for use in microwaves and conventional ovens.
Patchwork
Unique fabric or paper prints are applied to the surface of porcelain,
dolomite or polyresin items. Twelve layers of lacquer are added, and
the item is hand polished to a high gloss between each layer.
Hong Tze
To
closely emulate a special stone found in China which is known for its
deep red color, these items are created using an alabastrite polyresin.
Hong Tze pieces are highly polished, further bringing out the intense,
deep red color.
Frosted Acrylic
Acrylic items are given the French Lilac process, (used on glass), to
achieve the distinctive frosted look. The drama of frosted glass
without the weight.

A magnesia-rich, sedimentary rock resembling limestone, dolomite is either gray, pink or white in color.
