A well-choreographed exit and a simple combination to the
briefcase which holds certain assets, this should keep one suave
during the IRS raid. With several convincing reproductions framed on
the wall, all this stylish flight risk needs is the safe transport of Michele
Michael's irresistible ceramic vessels. Value is in the handmade. With
deep aquatic saturations—turquoise, seaweed, ocean blue—the
artist soaks her porcelain platters, bowls and trays in the homespun
texture of linen, flooding the surface of each form with the glorious
unpredictability of clay and glaze. The regarded Manhattan
stylist and former magazine editor creates her Elephant Ceramics
collection in limited batches; the temporal lust making them even
more prized…with or without a getaway car. For information,

Pouenat Ferronnier is an uncommonly dignified company devoted to the
pursuit of one craft, mastering one art unlike those ill-advised celebrities
who feel it is their manifest destiny to do everything and be all a Twitter
about it. Expertise has never been more attractive. The French workshop
has been forging iron, taming fire and working architectural panache since
1880. Where there was the restoration of railings at Château de Versailles,
there is also a collection of furnishings conceived of by elegant minds like
Michel Jouannet whose magnificently sultry Guéridon orbits a beguiling
interiors
Modernist mood that could easily slide next to any antique in the room.
The superlative construction ensures that when you put the piece up at
auction, well into your 80s, you can finally take that yearlong cruise. To
