David & Patricia Dabbert
![]() |
As a collaborative team for 35 years, David & Patricia exhibited and sold their award winning original porcelain in over 400 art shows, exhibitions and galleries in Florida, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio, Kentucky, and Missouri. Using their high fire Porcelain clay, the work varies from large multi-tiled free form wall sculptures to wheel thrown vases, vessels and whimsical teapots. To bring a heightened visual radiance additional firing and layering of 23k golds, lusters and metallics are often used. Each piece is a hand made original. |
