(D) Nineteen inches wide, this signed Degué bowl, like so many French objects, champions the world of the natural. The bowl, with its subtle, delicate oranges and yellows and violets, evokes a sunrise in the French countryside. The iron's not bad, either. Come to think of it, how much better does it get?? (e-mail

(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

(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
