(E) Pierre d'Avesn's breathtaking Phoenix bird charger, 15 inches across of the purest beauty, in superb condition!! If you have an appropriate place to display this, you will be delighted every time you're in its presence!
Items designed by this Grand Master are swiftly... SOLD!!
(F) Here's another lovely marriage of two of France's primary disciplines, glass-making and wrought iron. This compote stands nearly nine inches tall and about as wide. (e-mail
Jack for a price)
(G) Yes, this might be considered a lesson in how not to photograph and present non-colored glass. Oh, well, sometimes we just screw up around here. At any rate we have here an interesting Art Deco shallow bowl, perfect for an enterprising ikebana student, signed VERLYS, as you know a highly respected French glassmaker. And at 15 inches across, serious presence (2 high). The acid-etched design, sublime...(e-mail

(H) Who, might I ask, but the mighty house of SABINO would get this so right? Well, the only detractor here is that our French friends actually used this bowl, so it does have an abundance of scratches on the bottom. Not the end of my world, but maybe yours? The French don't care, believe me; for them it's the "soul" of the piece that matters! It's 11 3/4 across, by the way. (e-mail

(I) Signed Pierre d'Avesn, three carp swimming in an amber ocean. Twelve inches wide
by 2 1/8 tall. Early in his career D'Avesn worked for the legendary Rene Lalique and designed pieces which today are the most desireable of all Lalique's output!
Tom knew how thrilled his client would be with this bowl and lept! SOLD!!
