Original signed oil painting mounted in an ornate gold frame. Boy and girl running from what appears to be a volcanic explosion. Tough to make the signature out but I think it is "L Pellieprill". Painting is darker than photo would suggest. According to the previous owner this was in a picture box that was broken, the reason for the amazing condition.

Paper mache kitty, made in 2012 and signed "4597 Wirtz" on bottom. Sayings on the cat are; "Catnip NOW or I will scratch your face off!" on the front, "Stop looking at my bum" on the butt, and "I don't think your cat likes me" on the back side.
Cut glass sculpture by 2400 Fahrenheit. Michael Mortara created this unique piece at his workshop on the side of the Hawaii volcano, just outside the national park. A crystal clear cube with green glowing tubes and inner reflective layers. The glass bottom is casted in sand and has an interesting metallic look. The glass sits on four posts on a granite base.
Fairly sure this is porcelain. White with blue and black decorations, and blue ribbons. Back is marked Say Sayer, N.O., LA 1988. Given to Dale as a gift.
Original painting by Dennis Mukai. 1988, 28 x 36". This is the original artwork used for a full page of the August 1988 Playboy magazine, page 117. In those days Mukai was a regular contributor to Playboy magazine, but I don't recall hearing of another full page spread. This is definitely one of our favorites, and the pictures don't do it justice.

Poster from 1991. This was before the breakup of the Soviet Union. At the time they were one of the very best ballet companies in the world. Our first viewing of a ballet, and it was AMAZING.
Cut glass sculpture by 2400 Fahrenheit. Michael and Misato Mortara work as a team to make these pieces. They are located just outside of Hawaii Volcanos National Park, and if you have time you should stop and watch them do their work. According to Michael this was a prototype and one of the very first of this type.
Beautiful cast bronze statue. Extremely detailed. Seems to have a dark black finish on much of it, almost like a hard wax. Have not yet found a makers mark. And no idea if it is old or not. If you know something about this please let us know. Height 20".

Art glass vase made by 2400 Fahrenheit, April 2012. It was a lot of fun watching Michael and Misato making pieces just like this when we were visiting Hawaii. Unfortunately it takes a while for the freshly made pieces to cool down, so we adopted one that was a few days old.
Pair of metal figurines. The boy with the fishing pole is marked "Le Pecheur", and the girl with the fishing net is marked "La Pecheuse". Very detailed down to the buttons and fingernails and fishing line. Base and construction is similar to what Ansonia used on their clocks in the late 1800's. Not sure of the maker and age, but likely these also from late 1800's. Height 21" to top of heads, 23.5" to top of fishing pole.
Dale bought this at the Madison WI art fair. Hand made, marked on bottom but can't make it out. Fairly sure Dale bought this in 1987.
