Yes. Kibler's Korner uses a
GeoTrust Web Certificate providing 128-bit SSL communications, the
highest level of security commercially available today. The use of
128-bit SSL certificates has become standard for e-commerce enabled
web sites or any site that collects private information from users
such as credit card numbers, account numbers or passwords.
Secure communication over the
Internet is continually gaining in importance. As concerns over
privacy rights accentuate and the e-commerce per transaction dollar
value increases, confidence that we are communicating confidentially
is becoming all the more valuable. Also, business and consumer
relationships are beginning to exist entirely on-line and parties
need to have confidence that they are communicating with the
intended counter party. SSL Web Certificates solve both of these
problems for users sharing sensitive or private information with
on-line merchants.
GeoTrust Web Server Certificates are
among most advanced, secure, and affordable server certificates on
the market. The SSL Server Certificates provide superior browser and
server recognition.
Due to manufacturing and shipping
delays occasionally an item may be out of stock. When this
happens, Kibler's Korner will notify the customer via Email.
At that point, the customer will be informed that a particular item
or items are out of stock, and the anticipated in stock date.
A customer will be issued a refund check for the amount of the out
of stock item(s).
Alabastrite is a
stone-based material which can be intricately molded producing great
detail, and will allow paint to adhere. These items may be cleaned
by dusting, however, they should not be washed with water as they
are painted with water soluble paints.
White clay with
bone ash added. Bone ash content must be at least 25% by U. S.
guidelines. Fired at 1800 degrees. The translucent material is
finished with a glaze or underglaze (matte). Lighter, stronger, more
expensive than porcelain.
Fine ground white
clay, molded and fired in an oven for eight hours at 1200 degrees.
Finished with a glazed, underglazed, or "bisque" finish. Glazing
produces a high gloss; underglaze produces a matte finish. Bisque is
a matte finish without glaze. After finishing, the item is "cooked"
for six hours at 800 degrees.
Jade porcelain is a type of porcelain made
with a finer clay. Usually no glaze or only a colorless glaze will
be applied at the final firing to show off the very smooth surface
and to preserve the translucency. Example: 27112. Jade Porcelain is
used for night lights because of its high degree of translucency
when lit.

White clay with fine ground stone. Working
with stoneware demands great expertise, and is in fact becoming a
lost art. Stoneware is safe to use in microwave and conventional
ovens.

Unique fabric or paper prints are applied to
the surface of porcelain, dolomite or polyresin items. After
application, 12 layers of lacquer are added and the item is hand
polished to a high gloss between each layer.

To closely emulate a special stone found in
China which is known for its deep red color, these items are created
using an alabastrite polyresin. Hong Tze pieces are highly polished,
further bringing out the intense, deep red color.

Acrylic items are given the French Lilac
process, (used on glass), to achieve the distinctive frosted look.
Example: 27205. The drama of frosted glass without the weight.
