    Description

    Vintage John Perry White Pellucida Dolphin measures approximately 7.5" tall x 10" wide x 5" deep. The dolphin alone measures approximately 7.5".
    This will ship with the dolphin not attached to the base to avoid breakage.
    The material Perry uses is a versatile resin compound developed by himself, called Pellucida™, that can be presented in a variety of colors and textures. The pieces are frequently mounted on manzanita burlwood. Formerly used for firewood, the root burl of the manzanita bush is now appreciated for the beauty and incredible variety of its form. When skilled craftsmen, most of whom have worked with John Perry for many years, have interpreted, cut and polished the burl and mounted it with a sculpture, the result is a happy marriage of the art of nature and man.
    Cleaning the Sculptures:
    The sculptures are made of PellucideTM, a durable resin compound developed by the Artist. If it has a frosted finish it may be cleaned with an eraser or washed with a little warm water and Comet. You can also wash with mild dish wash soap and water.
    If over the years the burlwood loses its luster, apply a little furniture wax and it will buff up like new.
