Beautiful!
These are lovely. The soapstone has natural color gradations, with some lovely touches of pale pink and light grey intermingling with the medium grey that predominates. They are substantial pieces, and the talent and artistry of the sculptor is obvious. The owls are identical in size, but there are individual variations that make it easy to see each is one of a kind. I was also delighted to see that the upright portion on each bookend is actually carved to resemble a book! Delightful!

This box is simply gorgeous!
At first, when I looked at the pattern on this box, it seemed sort of old fashioned, but the more I looked, the more beautiful the box became. I now own three items in this "Golden Colonial Elegance" pattern: this box, a set of coasters, and a tray. I am in love with all of them. Ms. Polo's work is just so beautifully made and done, these things are really gorgeous is all I can say, and I thank her for the beauty she has given me.
