Customer Reviews of Nantana Sompamitre
I own two pieces crafted by this artist and they are terrific! (Elephant and jade coasters.) Everything about the coasters and the "container" in which they come is top quality, with each piece being a work of art unto itself. While the color of the set appears muted in the photo on site, even under a poor light source the fine lines that make up the jade portion of the design glows warmly under the multi layers of lacquer. I never thought I would actually be excited over a set of coasters -- but I am. The elephant also is wonderful, displaying great personality along with his brightly and intricately painted vest, trunk, back, etc. I suspect that, based on how much I have been enjoying the elephant, I soon will succumb to purchasing the artist's bunny box as well. She does terrific work, and I highly recommend it.
