Explanation on back reads:
The wild goose studio
Cead Mile Failte
(Pronounced: kayad meele folicha)
The traditional Gaelic greeting which means
"A hundred thousand welcomes."
The Celts respect the significance of the welcome as a threshold or rite of passage. Among Celts there is a wide recognition of the significance of chance meetings and random events (synchronicities), with a renowned openness to new experiences, opportunities and people. Characterized by the expansive and generous nature of this phrase "cead mile failte".
"Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive."
Q. How are the Studio's designs made?
A. All Wild Goose's work is handmade by skilled craft-workers using a cold cast method. Each piece has a shell of pure cast iron or bronze backed by a resin and ceramic core. Any variations in finish are part of its appeal.
