LCR West Hartford is pleased to announce our latest addition to our online and in-store collections, Scott Potter. After debuting a small selection of his product during our 2010 Holiday Season we will be presenting a greater assortment of his collection this spring. Starting May 1, 2011 we will be hosting a Scott Potter Trunk Show, which will feature approximately 30 products in store ranging from small bowls and trays to urns and vases. The in store event will continue through May 31, 2011. Products are currently available online, where we will feature a greater assortment of his designs year round. Also in celebration of our Scott Potter Trunk Show, we will be showcasing Jay Strongwater’s Hydrangea Collection, with product ranging from a $275 Small Hydrangea Box to the $2,500 Hydrangea Glass Bowl. Groupings of product from both artists makes a beautiful statement; a fabulous addition to any home décor.
Originating from a career in ballet, Scott Potter combined his knowledge of theater, choreography and costume with his love for classicism. This, combined with inspiration drawn from decoupage prints made in 18th Century English and Irish picture galleries, led Scott Potter to begin producing his art. Since 1992 Potter has been working in the mediums of decoupage and gilding to create his elegant, unique designs. The many designs in Scott Potter’s collection are all hand-blown crystal or glassware with images cut from reproductions of the 18th and 19th century prints that inspired him. These images are then applied to the glass in a realistic, yet elegant composition. After a careful cleaning the entire piece is gilded in many layers in the gold/sliver leaf finish, a colored leaf finish, or colored glaze finish. All designs are signed by Scott Potter.
Scott Potter’s designs are exceedingly rare and are collected and coveted by mid-eastern royalty, movie stars, and celebrities. His product line includes desk and library accessories, bath accessories, tabletop, and home accent pieces with pieces ranging from trays, paperweights, classical urns, dinnerware and vases to larger items such as large floor screens and fireplace screens. Because they are all handmade, Scott Potter’s designs can be customized by either isolating or highlighting the decoupage images on the glass or by changing the background color, ensuring that these beautiful pieces will integrate wonderfully into any style of décor.
