Vaughn Pottery New Arrivals

Like Christmas morning, we were ripping the paper off the boxes revealing treasures beyond our expectations.  These new designs are breathtaking.  The intricate carvings into the new clays speak volumes of the creativity and imagination of June Vaughn.  With a new color palate in this first vase, Vaughn Pottery has opened a new phase of design.  Too difficult to describe here, a visit is a must.

Seen above is a new shape which we are very excited about.  In natural colors the carved footed vase features a lidded top. 

#348   $325

This subtle beauty is inlay-ed with jasper and fossils, highlighted with intricate carvings in an almost mystical design.

Below are featured two of the new signed wearable art pieces.  All include adjustable necklaces.

Woodies Wonder Gold Discovery

Ironstone Vineyards is proud to have on display a very special Gold Nugget recently discovered in Woods Creek, not far from the little town of Columbia, just on the other side of the river from us. 

Woodies Wonder as it is now called, lay hidden away under boulders for millennium till reportedly discovered by an amateur gold prospector in 2016. Taking his find to owner of Gold Prospecting Adventure in Jamestown, a video was made while all were still in shock over this amazing find.

The Union Democrat wrote an article shortly after that about the find that soon went viral.  Here is their link.

This past year, the Kautz Family purchased this nugget which was reported as weighing 16 oz.  The actual gold weight is 11.2 troy ounces after it was assayed.

Woodies Wonder now joins the 44 pound Crystalline Gold Leaf Specimen found in 1992 by the Sonora Mine at their Jamestown site. 

In addition to these spectacular pieces of Gold, the Museum also features a wonderful collection of fossilized wood and other rocks & minerals.  There is no charge to visit, so do come by and take a look. 

Holiday Spirit kickoff with Dennis McNeil

There are any number of ways to get into the Holiday Spirit this season, decorating and baking top most of my friends lists.  Ironstone is offering another fun prospect with a dinner show featuring musician Dennis McNeil with guest Teri Bibb.

If you haven't heard Dennis's spectacular voice before, Ironstone's Heritage Museum does have his CD, "About Time" available for sale now.
