The
idea for this distinctive timepiece comes from the Art Deco architecture
of the Rockefeller centre in New York. John D Rockefeller was a
American industrialist who played a prominent role in the early
oil industry, and for a time was the richest man alive. In today's
terms Rockefeller would be worth at least twice as much as Bill
Gates, Warren Buffett and Sam Walton's fortunes combined. Rockefeller
spent much of the second half of his life focusing on philanthropic
pursuits, primarily relating to education and public health, eventually
giving away about half of his wealth. This piece has been finished
in Echo Of Deco's own 'Racing Green' glaze, but is also available
in many of the studio's other unique glaze colours. |
