Collectibles
Tom’s artwork has been artistically captured on giftware such as glass and porcelain ornaments, coasters, plates, paperweights, tiles, bells, mugs, magnets, trays, award plaques, and more. We enjoy undertaking special challenges as time permits and are happy to discuss your needs, whether on a small scale for your personal use or on a larger scale for your business, school, or even as a fundraising program.
Three of our most popular gift items are ornaments, coasters, and paperweights.
In 1990 Tom began a Lancaster County series of ornaments which continues to date. Each year he has personally signed and numbered 1,000 ornaments with a gold pen. Tom also has 5,000 of the same image available as an open edition ornament (stamped signature/unnumbered).
The 1990, 1991, 1992, and 1993 ornaments were made of glass and are 3″ in diameter with a brass top.
The series from 1994 to the present are fine porcelain and are 2″in diameter with a brass top.
The first ornament (1990), in both the limited edition and open edition series, is retired. All 6,000 of them!
On the secondary market, the 1990 limited edition ornaments are currently valued at $250.00 and the 1990 open edition ornaments are valued at $100.00. A few of the others are almost retired.
