Green Lantern

Freshly painted flowers in tones of blue fall on a textured ground. Duvet has a hidden button closure. Duvets and shams are self reversing.

Carefully rendered in a style reminiscent of neoclassic trompe l'oeil-a French term for artwork that depicts optical illusions-a captivating geometric rosette motif traverses this elegant porcelain platter from Bernardaud. Delicate shades of ice blue, mother-of-pearl and gray are enhanced by a fine platinum trim.

The French skillet features a large surface area and round sides that superlatively retain heat while preventing spattering. Handcrafted of American-made steel in Pennsylvania-as it has been for four decades-it is ideal for searing, browning and pan-frying everything from meats to eggs. A loop handle (opposite the long handle) provides added convenience and stability in pouring and transporting.
