Outside Lyon there is a dealer we have known for years, and the loveliest things always come from the same place, his father's collection, built up over a lifetime of looking. This glass cloche came from that collection, a dome cut all over in a honeycomb of hexagons with a star cut into the crown and a faceted knob to lift it by. It has the weight and the shine of old glass, curving the light and turning whatever sits beneath it into something worth a second look. Sylvie sets it over a bowl of cherries on the counter, small and gleaming under the glass like something kept precious.
Minor variations from the images may occur unless otherwise noted. All sales are final.
Notes from Sylvie:
Dear collector, these pieces have been used for many years and may show light wear consistent with their age.
All items are final sale.
