世界上第一個推崇雪花石膏的通透和美麗的,即是古老的埃及文明。這種礦物並非堅硬岩石,它能夠滿足複雜的雕刻需要。Roger Thomas 的雪花石膏器皿系列由一個技藝精湛的義大利工匠家族打造,幾個世紀以來,他們專於與雪花石膏打交道。阿爾科系列經由手工雕刻完成,通體雪白,唯獨在底部及蓋子把手上做了些金色的文章,低調含蓄,綻放王室的典雅高貴。
The Ancient Egyptians were the first known civilization to revere alabaster for its translucency and beauty. The mineral is not a hard stone and lends itself perfectly to intricate carving. The Italian alabaster vessels in The Roger Thomas Collection are made by a family who has been working in alabaster for centuries. Each vessel sits on a gold leaf base. The Arco lidded vessel has a gold leaf knob. The hand carved Quatra Bowl rests on alabaster feet.
