What a beautiful tazza! Opulent Louis XVI repousse decoration. The plate is divided into three sections; each one elaborately bedecked with scrolling foliate floral elements, including vines and bell flowers. In the center of each a cartouche draws the eye to either a pastoral symbol, or, in one case an oval shield for the placement of a monogram. There is no monogram on this plate, which as always most desirable. The edges are accented with six capitals, there is a band of twining leafs strewn with flowers and buds. The outer rim boasts a helix design. There is more. At the center of the plate is a circular fluted and strapped device with pearl border and floral design in the center. The plate rests upon a raised circular foot. And there is still more! Quite the profusion of decorative embellishments, yet utterly graceful, elegant. Condition is excellent; no flaws to note other than a bit of tarnish on the bottom. Easily enough removed; but the patina is so inviting I don't wish to risk losing it. Spectacular piece, guaranteed to please. Dimensions: plate is 9.5" diameter, 1.5" high; circular foot is 4 7/8" diameter. Weight is 370 grams. Marks: plate and foot each punched with the French .950 sterling guarantee. My dear friend Nathalie came to the rescue, again! The maker's punch is for: Patronyme Langlois Prenom (Etat civil) Emile Initiales E.L.

Gold is inserted in layers of glass to create the fascinating effect of this pendant. The rippling bands of colors, energized by dashes of gold, appear as if suspended in motion, a temporary halt in a glorious geological flow of sea shades. Perfect balance of color is achieved with each element complementing the other, a harmony of form that is very pleasing to the eye. This type of glass ornament is extremely rare, and will instantly distinguish the wearer as someone with refined taste. - (FJ.6450)   « Less

The graceful profile impression this intaglio makes bears a remarkable resemblance to Cleopatra, last of the Ptolemies. It depicts a woman with bound hair and steady gaze, whose beauty seems to radiate from some inner source. It is a portrait of such exquisite sensitivity as to almost surely have been made from life by a master artisan. When we gaze upon it, we feel as if we know the sitter intimately. - (Z.0113)   « Less
