market values


It's amazing how many new ways there are to design a fork! And so another tabletop market continues, and so far the real ooo-ahhh debut from the show is Marc Jacobs' new tabletop line with Waterford. (Gorgeous!) The collection includes fine china, glassware, flatware, barware, stemware and crystal and glass objects. And given Marc's love of the understated don't look for anything to over-the-top. All of the designs are elegantly modern, with an eye on lasting style. My favorites include the Misia (gold leaf border), Elizabeth (colored clovers and flowers) and Jean (art deco lines and dots). And to really make the collection personal, he named the patterns of his collection after his closest friends.
