At the gifts shows we're always on the look-out for beautiful glass items: paperweights, stemware, vases, ornaments, octopi. Sadly, at last summer's gift show in San Francisco we were just not finding anything exciting...until we came upon these beautiful platters. The Ganesh Platter is a deep green with copper foil elephants that rivet the eye; the Pavone Platter is an azure glass masterpiece with a peacock theme. Though both platters can be use for serving, I honestly can't imagine covering them up with canapes and the like - they're just too beautiful! I would display them proudly with other treasured artworks (and relish the fact that they don't cost an arm or a leg!). To be honest, we were concerned these platters would never arrive - they came from Italy on a very slow boat indeed. But here they are, in time for the holidays - come and see them!
