For Sale: Unique Shaving Set/Sculpture
You've seen this set as it developed. I named this set Teddy. You will never see another like this. If you add this piece of functional art to your already funky home, guests will come out of your bathroom ready to start a conversation all about Teddy. No, it's not for everyone. But in the right spot, Teddy will make you smile every time you see him. He is first in a series of Brush/Scuttle/Stand sets, each unique.
DESCRIPTION:
The brush is a genuine 24 mm silver tipped badger knot set in a Gabon ebony handle with fine (.999) silver studs and a Sleeping Beauty turquoise cabachon.
The stand is approximately 10.5 inches (27 cm) tall of Macassar ebony and fine (.999) silver.
The scuttle is from Georgetown Pottery
 
I have been asked to exhibit some of my work at a new gallery in Bridgeport, Connecticut and this piece will be going for sale there for $550 USD. However, because of the respect I have for this community, I am willing to let this beautiful, one of a kind set go on SRP for $400.00 USD (plus shipping and , if desired by the buyer, insurance). That's right, only $400 USD plus shipping! I've seen lesser brushes alone selling for more than that!
Remember, this is my first set, and my work is getting to be quite popular. I probably won't live forever (although I feel as if I already have). My work has been increasing in value. I am invited to exhibit at more places quite frequently. Once I die, the value will skyrocket ... so beat the rush!

That is beautiful work that deserves to be displayed in a PROPER shaving den,,, not my dingy bathroom. Congrats on the artistry that made that piece.

Thanks!
I am the least proprietary cat around. I will publish my design drawings for just about anything I've created. I will gladly help anyone work out any problems in re-creating any of my work, my photographs and all but perhaps two of my recipes. |

Mine, all mine!!!!!!!!!!!!
After much debate as to where Teddy will live when he arrives, we have decided when not in use Teddy will live on top of Mr Nibbs vivarium in our living room to recieve maximum exposure to our guests.
Not everyone uses the bathroom when they visit and we feel Teddy needs to be seen and admired by all. We hope that meets with your approval Bradzilla.

WOW
Teddy is AWESOME
Of course, he will find a loving home here in Wales.
In years to come, we'll be able to crow "We've got an early Moroni"
