The group features a variety of forms: slender cylindrical silhouettes, voluptuous bottle shapes, and petite flared rims, all crafted in richly textured ceramic with lava glazes or folk-inspired floral decoration.

Let customers speak for us
The overall above-and-beyond customer service that I have received is something that I have never experienced before. Unfortunately for me, the bow that I purchased arrived completely broken - purely the fault of ignorant shipping agents somewhere in its transit. Andreas exhibited unparalleled professionalism, responsiveness, promptness, kindness and compassion in resolving this with me. Rare to be sure these days! I hope to do business with him again in the future!

I recently purchased a violin bow from here. The bow is just as described, high-quality and all prepared for play. The silver winding and frog look great.
Communication was good and they shipped quickly. The bow was safely packaged and arrived in perfect condition.
The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that, while the bow performs exceptionally well, I found it slightly heavier than expected.

Wasn’t totally sure what to expect since there weren’t many reviews, but this bow completely surprised me. It got this for my daughter who needed a good follow-on bow as shes getting much better at playing... Honestly, took a bit of a gamble, but I’m really happy I did. ..Definitely a great find!

Looks better than expected!! Arrived in perfect condition, carefully packaged with bubble wrap. The sculpture looks sleek and polished, and has the artist's signature on the back so a genuine piece. It works great for my Airbnb. These guys are great.
