A list of my recent lenses

Kutani Porcelain

This lens is about one of my favorite Japanese Antique porcelain styles named KUTANI. I hope you'll enjoy reading about it! It is not only beautiful and highly valuable, but also rich in historical and Artistic content.

Imari Porcelain

This lens is one in a series of lenses I will write about Asian Antiques, especially Japanese and Chinese Art. I always admired the intricate beauty of old Japanese porcelain and earthenware. In this lens I will introduce the reader to the Imari style, which is probably the easiest to recognize

satsuma

This lens is about Japanese Satsuma porcelain, one in a series of lenses I will write about Asian Antique ware. I have been admiring Satsuma porcelain since I was little, and never left out an opportunity in my travels to visit the museums exhibitions which included Japanese Art.

Mouse Deer of Malaysia and Borneo

I wanted to write about this fascinating creature, the Mouse Deer, for a long time now. It is an animal barely larger than a rabbit, and it looks so funny with its large ears, pointed nose, mustache and slender long legs, supporting a rather chubby body!

Bernstein Zimmer: The Amber Room

This lense describes the famous Bernstein Zimmer as the Amber Room is called in German. Information about the mysterious disappearance of this masterpiece of Art, as well as a despription of the new, restored version of the room is provided. What a mysterious story!

Limoges Porcelain

This lens explores the porcelain style known to collectors as Limoges. Limoges is not really a maker's brand, rather, it is a collection of excellent, highly refined porcelain manufacturers who settled in and around the city of Limoges in France. The probably most commonly found limoges porcelain...

Albatross

This lens is about the lasrgest bird in the world, the smiling Albatross. If you are passionate about the Environment and Nature WITHOUT being radical or fanatic in your thinking (such as spray-painting fur-coats, or rejecting membership applications to animal lovers' clubs / groups from people who enjoy fur and leather items) you're welcome to join my Squidoo group Nature and Environment.

Oscar de la Renta

This lens is about my all time favorite fashion designer Oscar de la Renta. He understands feminine elegance and female beauty like only a few others in the fashion industry. A multiply talented Artist, his message is clearly, "Feel well, enjoy being a woman!" His attention to detail...
