I am dedicated to MADE IN AMERICA

I had a special request for a local synagogue to make a baby kiddish cup.
I called on a glassblower to come up with his version
I called a beader, plater, from the local stock of east village artist
and I called a copper / brass duo in CT.  and out came three different versions of what it should be like .  Of course , getting them, to get it here on time,  was a stretch ,

 but I love that I help that sort of thing to happen.  Art , heals .

WEDDING GIFT ????? OR SOMETHING FROM THE REGISTRY ???

Wedding gifts are always a problem for some people. In 30 yrs of Galleria's existence ,I, have, heard it all but I'm sure there is room for more. He's Jewish- she is not She's Jewish- he is not I want to give them something they can both use. I do not know what their new place looks like .

I wish people who have come here for my wedding gift ,ra...
