I have had the pleasure to witness the development of the Jootz brand since first conceived. Of the numerous artful items created over the years, focus has most recently settled on the stunningly imaginative Queen Bee line -- individually imagined and entirely hand-crafted. The creativity behind each figure inspires -- matched entirely by the consummate impeccable craftsmanship. As a lifelong antique and art collector, I am more often than not underwhelmed by present day offerings in the market place. Not so with Jootz creations. A Queen Bee guarantees a distinctively unique addition to one's own home, or a gift that will be received with giddy pleasure by the recipient -- a treasure that will engender a smile on any day.
Additionally, the Jootz gold leaf enhanced reverse decoupaged glass assortment is stunning. Each glass offering -- serving pieces, candlesticks, pin and serving trays, etc., -- reflects the multi-phased creative process that results in a glowing, tactile, beautiful item. I own multiple pieces of Jootz glass and have given far more as gifts over the years. These items are impossible to resist.
