Limited Edition Christofle Square Tray

Christofle is known for their elegant silver pieces and this limited edition Square Tray is a standout. Designed by Michele Oka Doner, the 15.5-inch tray is hand-carved "to express natural textures." Every one of the 50 trays is signed and numbered. Price: $7,600.

On a slightly different note, did you know that Vivre has recipes on their website? I would think that someone looking for a recipe would turn to Slashfood, a cookbook or another ell-established recipe source, rather than to an online shopping site, but the recipes are contributed by La Grenouille restaurant, so at least there is some credibility behind them. This month's is Oysters with Champagne, a festive first course (served on a silver platter, of course) for a New Year's party.
