Story Behind the art :
After years of hard work, I was honored with a state award for excellence Today, I am proud to mention that I have earned a name for myself in the art of jali work.Hello. My name is Gulam Rasool and I was born in the year 1940. My city is so rich in traditional marble sculpting that anyone visiting would never get enough of the exotic beauty and artistic work of the people here. I belong to a family who has a long relationship with the art of sculpting marble. I became interested in this rich work and started helping my father in his work. My father was an expert in marble sculpting and jali (openwork). He was honored with the state award for excellence in marble sculpting in 1979. I learned a lot from him and chose to follow his path. After working with my father for a long time, I ventured out on my own. I experimented with different designs and gave a new dimension to the traditional styles. At that time, there were very few tourists coming to India and all we got from a hard day's work were a few bucks from selling souvenir items made of soapstone. Over the years, however, things have changed as far as our work's popularity is concerned. More and more tourists come to India to learn about our exquisite art. And this has helped artisans a lot.After years of hard work, I was honored with a state award for excellence in marble handicrafts. Today, I am proud to mention that I have earned a name for myself in the art of jali work. The opportunity to work with Novica is unique and I am delighted to be associated with them. Now I can show my work to the world.

I just got this and I absolutely love it. Even more beautiful than I hoped and is perfect for where I want it. And it was so well packaged, impressive. If my friend likes it as much as I do I'll order one for her birthday. Thank you. Love, love, love it!
Very pretty jar. It is a bit smaller than I expected, but looks lovely on my table.
Beautiful design lite weight soapstone. I purchased another soapstone item and thought this would look perfect with it. I was right; beautiful design and great addition.
Very pretty item. Well made and looks as pictured.
This is a really cute little piece. Not disappointed with my purchase!
I purchased this carved soapstone ivy and lace bowl with lid,it's probably one of the most beautiful items that I've purchased off overstock.com, I collect Asian antiques and hand carved items from around the world, it's so beautifully hand carved. Hard to believe what a find this was,I definitely recommend to anyone who love displaying fine works of art.
This Ivy amd Lace soapstone jar is absolutely lovely.Soapstone kind of confused me but it is heavy and looks like a stone composite.It is a beautiful piece that could go in any room.
Very well crafted piece. Good show piece, ,,,,,,,
A beautiful handmade jar with lid that can be displayed anywhere or used. I wish I had several. Colors in the piece varies as with any true stone. I love this jar!!
Though made of stone this exquisite decorative jar looks light and airy and is a pleasure to view on my shelf.
