Vintage, late 20th century, probably 1980s, hand wrought brass miniature bonsai tree Sculpture with amethyst "sprinkles" by Richard Bell Smith. This "tabletop" work of art depicts a bonsai monterey pine-style tree with a twisted trunk in welded brass growing around a chunk of iron oxide colored natural rock and accented with branches and leaves of brass and polished pieces of real amethyst as flowers. The brass roots that extend out of the trunk encircle the rock and extend out to help the entire piece stand securely. According to the artist, his intent is not to reproduce specific trees but to create a piece that communicates the feel and sensation of their natural characteristics. See below NOTES for more on Richard Bell Smith. This piece measures 9 12/" high, 8" wide and 6" deep and weighs a hefty 3 lbs. It is classic example of abstract tabletop sculptures that celebrate the natural beauty of a broad variety of trees and their intrinsic characteristics which are caught in the abstract style of Richard Bell. The base stone is signed "Bell" on the bottom, his classic signature. This table sculpture is in very good condition, with some patina and wear commensurate with age. A charming and magical piece sure to enhance a quiet space or add interest to a vignette.
NOTES on RICHARD BELL:
Bell, who grew up in Michigan in the 1950s, was immersed in nature throughout his childhood and started his art work there, becoming an oil painter before moving West. Bell spent 11 years studying Old Slavic literature and linguistics in Arizona and then in Los Angeles (UCLA). he then returned to the studio and took up welding to try something different and to explore work in 3 dimensions. He developed a number of innovations in the art of welding, making his mark on sculptors who have followed through these techniques as well as from his unique works. He has received countless awards and won many competitions and his work displayed in many shows. His sculptures are found in some of the finest collections in the world. He continues to produce work, using only his oxyacetylene torch, pliers and his imagination creating his own pieces as well as custom work.

Still The Best Frother Ever!
Color: Black
I love how it is easy to use, how it holds a charge, and how much power it has. I've only charged it once since I got it & I've been using it on a daily basis!!! Though it isn't a long time, I'm happy with it so far! I definitely will recommend it to anyone looking for a great frother. If you are looking for one, look no further! You won't be disappointed! I've read some comments where they found it to be too strong that their drink spilled everywhere. But for me I have not had any incident of spilling over. I have used it both for my coffee and my matcha tea and it worked great without any spilling over. You just have to start with the lowest power and ensure that you have a large enough container to have a room for your frothing. My sister tried to use it recently during her visit to make us matcha tea. However, she experienced spillage all over the cup, because she had used a small cup. Otherwise, she liked it very much and said she will get one when her battery operated one stops working...
Another thing I like about the product was the customer service that I had received. When I got my first order which came quickly, it wasn't working after having charged it over 24 hours. It was not turning on at all. I returned it and ordered a replacement which I received within a day or two. This time after charging it for the recommended amount of time, I was a bit skeptical when I turned it on. However, I was pleasantly surprised that it worked like it was supposed to and it has been working ever since having charged it only once so far. I may come back and give an update depending on how it does after 6 months of use, so keep in tune...
I don't know if there is a way to write a new entry as a follow up to the old entry, so I'm going to add my follow up comment over here.
May 23, 2025 - I love my frother more than I can say in words. It's functionality has not changed a bit from the time I have purchased it. It charge lasts several weeks to few months before I charge it again and the power is still the same. Recently I decided to buy another one for my office use. I like the white color and so tried it but that one wouldn't even turn on. And then I got a gray one to have a different color. That one was much weaker than the black one I own. Then I replaced it with another gray one within few days. I tried it and it was exactly the same as the one I already replaced. So then I decided to go with a black one again hoping that it would be the same as the one I have. The black one did much better than the gray ones in the strength or power of the frother. However, it is weaker than the one I already have been using since last August. While I am not very happy with the quality being inconsistent in all of the ones I have tried including the recent pictures of the black one, I have decided to keep the black one because it is relatively better than the gray ones I tried. What I don't understand is why there is inconsistency in the quality of the same product by the same maker. I am beginning to wonder if the black one I purchased in Augusta last year was anomaly of a quality and a good way. Maybe I lucked out on my older black frother, but I'm unsure if quality is going to get better if I were to order another one. I have a sister who is a pro in making coffee drinks and she was the reason I had ordered this frother to begin with. She uses a battery operated one at this time and I have been thinking about getting her one like mine. While I am still skeptical, I am going to give it a shot and order her one sometime soon. If it doesn't work, I guess we will return it back. But one thing that I am grateful is that I have been able to return every one of those that I have tried recently with no issues. I hope that I don't have to return my most recent purchase in black. I was not even able to review the new purchase because of the item being the same color which is crazy.

Outstanding Frother!
Color: Space Gray
Exceptional! This frother is in another league compared to the cheapo push button frothers. The motor is smooth, quiet and powerful. This has an intuitive thumb dial on top that operates smoothly with a wide range of smooth speed adjustment. It’s gentle enough to froth a little bit of milk for a macchiato and powerful enough to scramble 3 eggs. The head is removable for easy cleaning. It’s also rechargeable. I charged this the day I bought it on April first. I use it at least twice a day. It’s September 26th today and I have yet to recharge it and it’s not showing any signs of needing a charge. One minor quibble is that they give you 2 of the same frother heads. They are built so well, that I don’t imagine it ever wearing out. It would have been nice to get a whisk or something different. Not a deal breaker at all though.
