Hand-Crafted Gifts from Bob

The Pickney Collection

Nancy and Judy Pickney of Hot Springs, Arkansas, were known for their striking hand-painted ceramic art and jewelry that celebrated bold, fashionable women. Nancy, a classically trained artist with a Fine Arts degree created each design with elegance and flair. Her sister Judy crafted the ceramic forms and helped share their work with collectors across the country.

Their pieces became widely loved, even gracing the White House during the Clinton administration. Today, original Pickney art is cherished for its distinctive style—flowing blonde hair, wide-brimmed hats, and timeless feminine charm. With Nancy's passing in 2018, these remaining pieces are rare and collectible, offering a one-of-a-kind connection to Southern folk art and vintage American design.

“My late wife Vida collected these pieces with joy, and I’m now offering a selection of them in the hope that they bring someone else the same warmth and delight they gave her.”
