Jay Strongwater Mariah Orchid In Cachepot

Jay strongwater might not have an actual garden to toil in, but the mariah orchid in cachepot grew from the seed of an idea in the new york studio, from early design to the first carved wax model capturing each orchid petal’s fluttering shape. These lush and exotic orchids are nurtured by artisans as they are molded in pewter; dipped in 14k gold; painted in magenta, violet, and lilac enamels; and set with sparkling gem-cut crystals. The velvety blossoms grace each piece with their fragile beauty on a background of creamy white enamel and glass. A gently arched branch covered in vibrant orchids rises from a mouth-blown glass cachepot.
