Ladies playing Sap-Ma

Our new Matriarchs collection is a dream come true for me. I've always wanted to honor the brave woman who came before me, and who forged previously unimagable paths for themselves and others. It is because of these fore-bearers that I am the woman I am today.

  Also known as Sup Mah, The concept of finger guessing is simple, but don’t underestimate its simplicity once you’ve had a few drinks. This one is for two players at a time. Both players extend any number of fingers on one or both hands, revealing their hands at the same time. Just before the reveal, one player must shout out a number between two and twenty. If the total number of fingers held up is equal to the sum guessed, that player is safe. If not, he or she must drink.

     In the potichomania process, the glass acts as both a foundation and protective finish, saving the step of varnishing. The original intent was to recreate Greek and Etruscan vases by simulating rare and expensive Sevrés porcelain.
