The word 'lithophane' is Greek for "vision in stone." The art form of 'lithophane' originated in France, in the late 1800's, as a porcelain engraving that comes alive when illuminated from behind. Since our lithophanes are carved from 3/4 inch durable cultured stone material, they won't break, tear, fade in the sunlight, or adhere to glass. Once personalized, these pieces become a one of a kind, 3-D back lighted image like none other. Once the photo like image is carved, it appears as a plain piece of white plastic with undetermined texture until light is shines from behind it. This is when the 3-D effect is revealed.
