Product Description

NOVICA, in association with National Geographic, offers thousands of limited edition and one-of-a-kind gifts, jewelry, and home decor treasures handmade by master artists and artisans throughout the world. Chirping a cheerful rain song, tiny tree frogs sing of their home in the Balinese rain forest. Their bright-eyed beauty adds a unique charm to teatime or mealtime. An original design by Putu Oka Mahendra, this attractive set of sugar bowl and creamer is crafted by hand. The flora of Bali play an important role in the artisan's choice of color - a cool blue-green inspired by ocean and rain forest. Artisan Info: Putu Oka Mahendra was born in the Tabanan regency of Bali on June 12, 1966. His mother, Made Tantri, pioneered ceramic artistry in 1980. She was a woman full of energy and highly self-confident. When she first started she undertook the entire crafting procedure by herself - from creating the design until finishing the product. She gradually developed a reputation for fine design and high quality and people started placing so many orders that she saw the need to hire assistants. In 1990, when Tantri passed away, Oka Mahendra took-over her work, and eventually opened a showroom in her memory. To create his designs, Oka Mahendra finds inspiration in the luscious flora and fauna of Bali. In 1993, he was the third place winner for his ceramic designs in the Lomba Ceramic Design contest. Oka Mahendra has exhibited his hand-crafted items at the Asian Trade Fair (ATF) at Jakarta

Customer Reviews

Lovely creamer and Sugar
These look exactly like I expected them too. I've seen these at other stores and have always loved them. The creamer is perfectly balanced for pouring. The frogs are very cute.
