Orotones & Ivorytypes


Orotones and Ivorytypes are wet-plate collodion positives on glass (for Orotones, clear glass backed with gold foil or gold varnish, and for Ivorytypes, "milk" glass (white art glass) is the base).  As archival as other collodion images such as ambrotypes, they exhibit the same depth of detail and tonality.

Orotones and Ivorytypes can be made to any size.  Contact cvpphoto@yahoo.com for pricing.
