Vintage French Casserole

Absolutely stunning vintage French scalloped flower-form crystal bowl. Not sure what pattern this is but, it is unlike any that I see here in the states. It has a brilliance like no other crystal, I've ever seen. The frosted and heavily decorated edge offers a great contrast, making this bowl jaw-dropping. I believe this bowl has some decent age as the bottom is somewhat scratched however, Lalique France is script signed about middle. Use this bowl for anything from candies to floating candles...

Dieulefit means "God made it," but in this small, Provencal town, there is little evidence of a single deity at work. Rather, there are many inspired artisans at their wheels, creating pottery and ceramic accessories ranging from traditional country stoneware for everyday cooking and dining to striking contemporary ceramics for the serious collector. Situated in the northern reach of Provence, a region little explored by Americans, Dieulefit is as accessible and appealing as the Luberon, the area in southern Provence. Dieulefit and the surrounding countryside offer up a feast for the senses. An area diverse in natural colors, textures and scents, this lush land is a haven for the creative spirit. The tradition of pottery making in the region is as rich as the precious clay that supplied commercial potters in the late 1800s. Today, however, most of the local artisans get their raw materials from producers throughout France. The utilitarian nature of the original rural wares finds a distinct counterpoint in the more decorative items that are currently available in the area's many ateliers, galleries and commercial stores. One of the more prominent names in the region is that of the Mourre family, headed by Roger and Yvette Mourre, first generation potters who have been producing classic earthenware for nearly 48 years. Viewing the pottery-making process is more like peering over the artisan's shoulder than witnessing a formal demonstration. The reserved yet cordial Roger Mourre...

1930s Spanish bronze casserole with iron handle.

A beautiful example of a period Louis XVI chaudron, or cauldron, the copper has been decorated with a metalworking technique known as repousse, where low relief motifs are hammered from the reverse side. Many motifs from Louis XVI were inspired by ancient civilizations (Egypt, Rome, Greece, etc.), such as the mascarons and cartouches seen on the sides of this chaudron. There are two distinct mythological scenes on opposite sides, set in between a pair of twisted loop handles emanating from the mouth of a heavily bearded mascaron with a tied bow in his hair. One image depicts Pegasus rearing up as a man with a sword...
