Our Goal

We’re excited to show you our visionary and breathtaking world of (Jasperware) porcelain castings (some heat-fused with glass ‘frit’) to display the highly lucrative potential that our FASTCAST SYSTEM™ and other technologies of ours can afford you. Our goal is to license and/or sell our technologies, methodologies, join forces in whole or in part, etc., as would be mutually beneficial. By a company being in possession of my Intellectual Property, they will glean worldwide control of this major and as yet entirely untapped revenue stream. We feel certain, once these casts are seen by Collectors and the buying public, they will clamor for more of their favorite characters to be so produced. All those who have seen these casts in person and online are extremely impressed by them. We’re confident you will be too!

We encourage you to view our site on your computer to best appreciate the awesome beauty of our NANO-detail to its fullest advantage. You’ll be seeing a number of over-sized images. This is intentional so you can better appreciate the NANO-detail we’re able to offer you.

Our Vision

Our paramount mission is to form stunning, artful, decorative & utilitarian (Jasperware) porcelain objects with remarkable NANO-detail; now possible thanks to our multiple breakthrough I. P. technologies developed through decades of intensive Research and Development.

European figurine manufactory’s ceramic engineers consider my technologies “IMPOSSIBLE!” rather than a potential gold mine. Our processes make possible deep undercuts, through-holes, reticulation formed-in-the-mold, and complex shapes using our unique rubber molds and technologies. How does this translate into the real world marketplace? Typically lackluster figurines (want of any detail) now become exciting and captivating porcelain figurines thereby increasing their desirability to Collectors in the ‘Collectibles’ marketplace. Besides figurines, there is a whole host of other objects that can be created whether it be for Art, industry, technical ~ the sky’s the limit!

MY DREAM

My greatest dream has always remained for the creations of PHOENIX RISING CERAMICS to one day be regarded in the same caliber as the work of René Lalique, Fabergé, and Louis Comfort Tiffany—artists and Houses whose extraordinary artistry and craftsmanship transformed decorative art into an enduring legacy. For me, their Houses represent a triumvirate of genius and beauty made manifest.

In a way, I see my own path as similar to René Lalique and Tiffany—and, in another way, like Disney. All three began as artists, but something in them recognized that their true calling lay beyond the boundaries of traditional fine art.

As a sculpture student at Pratt Institute of Art, and later as a working sculptor, I very often visited The Met and Frick in New York City. Inevitably, I found myself drawn to the Decorative Arts galleries. I was always utterly, visually smitten by the magic I found before me.

Ultimately, I traveled that same road.
