This was part of a set-up of a business I had in 2009 which was all about crystal and these were part of the inventory of the Crystal Pineapple store I had. Setting up a business based with Chinese product had its own set up problems as some dealers there are less than knowledgeable about their product. Most of the people in China who are selling these products do not own a business in Crystal for instance but because they have basic knowledge of English say it is their company but in reality they make a living just by selling these products with a big markup for them. They do the deal by working with the people who run the factory, but have no ownership !~
The photos for this post were done with a 2008 pixel camera. The pixel count was low on these cameras so the cameral has trouble recognizing images that have a Mathematical type design which they cannot comprehend !~
One of the pineapples which were 5 and 1/2 inches high was designed by myself. Within 24 hours most of the crystal factories were promoting ads with my picture of the pineapple saying they can make. So much for putting up pics with no ownership mark.
Hi Mani - The top leaves were already designed and the picture now uploaded supports the pineapple which I designed which was used by all the Chinese to show what they could do, only hours after I posted on web what I wanted designed by another firm. Mark your photos everyone !!~
Impressive!
Dazzling crystal pineapples, both colors are gorgeous & the facets make them continually watchable - love them!
Live and learn. I've had a number of ideas pirated.
Very beautiful.
Absolutely stunning ! such talent I didn't know you designed crystals . To bad you had not water marked it . Amazing piece and love it xo
The story is so similar to one of my experiences. even before the ink was dry on the design, the concept was stolen - they even took the name. so much for associates and not safeguarding one's designs.
The Pineapple is wonderful, and the colors are grand.
They are nice glass Phil, and your pictures so good! Of course :)
