Dept of State Collection to Grow

Department of State has indicated that it wants to expand its offering of Woodmere gift and dinnerware products. Apparently, our items make great gifts for employees and foreign dignitaries. So, look for some new things from the Department of State in the near future.

(pictured is our 5 inch square wooden cache box with the seal of the Department of State on the lid)

James B. Duke Society...Covered Box

With March Madness upon us, I am reminded of a great Woodmere custom china project from a few years ago.

This is a picture of a 4 inch round covered box that we did a couple of years ago for the James B. Duke Society of Duke University.

Conspiracy Theorist's Delight: Great Seal of the U.S.

If there is another symbol that has as many people speculating as to the many of it....we would like to see it. We continue to be amazed at the various theories attributed to the art of the Great Seal of The United States. Mostly, the conspiracy theorists focus on the the obverse side (look at a one dollar bill) which has the Eye of Providence looking down upon the Pyramid. No doubt there is a tremendous amount of symbolism contained in the Great Seal. However, it is hard to beleive some of the ideas that ocntinue to pop up on the internet as to the seal's origins.

Woodmere has no interest in this offer other than to show a great classic piece from our company. Any dealings you have are with the seller and not with Woodmere. That said....good luck!
