Peter Spier's Circus (A Picture Yearling Book)

Padova is an elegant pattern with timeless appeal and features a delicate cream and pearl white motif accented with raised beading and trimmed in platinum on exquisite fine china.

After a hammered edge is carefully created around the circumference of this richly textured glass bowl, craftsmen hand-paint an opulent band of platinum for a breathtaking finish.

Smooth, fluid lines and lithe shape suggest the languorous movement of a serpent. A shape so supple and graceful, it looks almost as if it would respond to touch. Shown left to right: 5 7/8 serpentine vase, 7 7/8 serpentine vase. Also available: 9 7/8 serpentine vase.

The wide slightly rounded blade allows meat, fish, pancakes or roast potatoes to be lifted and turned over with ease. The perforations allow efficient drainage of fats and liquids.
