Dragons Claw w/Ball on a Wood base designed by Ray Lamb & Perth Pewter - item FA70. Perth Pewter is very much alive and producing quality pieces, based in New York. PERTH PEWTER is some of the finest American Pewter available. ALL pieces are signed, dated, and stamped. The date on each piece represent the original casting date. A NEWLY produced piece can have a MUCH older date, since the date and stamp is actually in the mold. These pieces are NOT mass-produced. The statues are hand poured and hand finished upon ordering. They are not created in large numbers and held in inventory, since they have a large product line, they try to refrain from keeping a large inventory of finished pieces. Dragons Claw w/Ball on a Wood base designed by Ray Lamb and made by Perth Pewter is from their Fantasy FA series. This piece clearly shows Ray Lambs signature, copywrite date 1989 and Perth Pewter located on the back near the base of the claw. Size is 5"H, and holds a clear crystal ball. The Crystal ball has a circumference of 6 1/4" or 6 centimeters, or 60 millimeters. This is an AWSOME piece, what a eye catcher or conversation piece. This is one of my favorite Perth Pieces. Notice the detail in the scales, and how the talons or fingers hold the ball! SWEET..... *************This item is currently in stock.
