The Edward Fisher CollectionThere are two pages showing some of Edward Fisher's exclusive collection, which is currently on the market. There are probably no more than twenty Blue John stemmed goblets available world-wide and about half of these goblets are new pieces created by Edward Fisher. Also for sale are a number of Blue John Bowls. To see the quality of the craftsmanship, also visit the Exclusive Collection page and the page showing items that are no longer available. Edward designs all his ornaments making each piece unique and, due to the scarcity of the raw material, very rare. Each ornament has been hand turned. Hand turned means that the craftsman holds the tool in the hand. Each piece requires a considerable amount of time to make and some pieces have taken well more than 100 hours to make from the raw material - much patience is required. Working Blue John Stone is a very skilled craft. One main difficulty of working with Blue John Stone is that the natural crystallisation of the mineral can result in fractures of the finished article. Edward has overcome this problem by using modern resins and processes which result in a perfect, highly polished, durable finish as evidenced by the items on display. Edward Leonard Fisher is one of the very few craftsmen alive who can produce Blue John Stone artefacts of such quality. Edward can also restore Blue John artefacts. For more information e-mail
