The True Value of Dragonstone Quality, either structural, decorative or ornamental has always been collectable and a true investment for those fortunate enough to own it. And it is not only "real" antique stoneware but also that classified as "modern" reconstituted or cast stone that is attracting the attention of collectors and investors alike. However the growing shortage of antique stoneware whatever the classification has inevitably resulted in the increased prices now being realised. The effect of this course, is the number of people wishing to "invest" in stoneware is diminishing. So how can we provide for this market - offering quality stoneware now with the potential of being the sought after antiques of the future? At Country Village we believe we can help. We have available the finest and most durable cast stoneware currently available. Classical Designs - Traditional Workmanship - Modern Materials Technology * we have an attractive "traditional" range of stoneware all of which can be viewed on our website. * all our pieces are hand made from natural stone and aggregates. * with our manufacturing process having been developed to meet architectural standards, * all our products satisfy the requirements of BS 1217 for cast stone.

In most cases these items are NZ origin, and thankfully due to our prominent location and company motto "Looking outside the square" exclusivity has been given by the supplier. Isn't it nice to no that most items purchased at COUNTRY VILLAGE your next door neighbour won't have the same piece. CRAZING Fine crazing can occur. This is called "thermal shock" and will self heal. It is apparent in most cement based prodcts and is not structural. Any substrate movement may also lead to fine hairline cracks that will usually seal. Such movement is beyond Dragonstone's control or liability. As with all cement based products there can be efflorescence - this will generally wear away. Dragonstone's stand by the quality and workmanship of their products. |
