    NEW! Painted China Plates for Trophies and Gifts

    August 14, 2013

    It’s been a busy few years, and one of the things new here at Mungo Works is my line of painted plates. In upcoming posts, look for a line of plates featuring Pointers, from the American Pointer Club’s 75th anniversary national show in Bethlehem, PA. Below, I have a long serving style plate featuring a Field Spaniel in a hunting theme. The plates are painted with a glass and ceramic paint, and then “fired” in the oven to set the paint. They are not to be used with food, they are for decoration only. I’m looking forward to adding more breeds to my repertoire soon, along with some wildlife done on vintage china. I hope you enjoy the new pieces!

    Irish Setter Stained Glass Clock

    April 16, 2010

    Yet another new addition to our stained glass dog breeds, an Irish Setter clock. This variation on the clock style seen in earlier designs has the Irish Setter’s head off to the side, creating a longer, lower base, with an Art Deco flavor. Earthy green and amber stained glass was used for the background to set off the mahogany colored glass of the Irish Setter’s head, an homage to its country of origin, Ireland. The base of this stained glass clock measures approximately 12 inches.

    April 16, 2010

    This is a Field Spaniel in stained glass. Originally, this piece was made to be a votive candle holder, but other uses can be a catch-all for paper clips, rubber bands, pens, etc. Or, it can be used as a holder for a small potted plant such as an African violet. The base measures 4 inches square, the sides are 3 inches high, and the front is 4 inches high. Any dog breed can be depicted.
