I Miss U all my Blog

While Paris has lots of grey skys and grey Baron Hausmann buildings

And I'm not just talking about all the high glossy tartes - the L'abricotage.
But tons and tons of silvery, reflective tableware that make French tabletops so delightful.
Here, the window of L'Argenterie at 19, rue de Turenne, 75004 in the Marais. Alexi Worth said in his book review for the New York Times on my favorite book,
Jonathan Miller's book, ON REFLECTION:
Reflective surfaces, from puddles to pewter to mirrored glass,
have always been catnip to artists.
What makes these images so especially puzzling and delicious?
I certainly can't keep away from shiny things.
And they're a real challenge to paint...
I've painted this lone original silvery teapot at the Petrossian Boutique over and over..
The Vaissellerie shop in Paris has lots of silver bargains...
I found a terrific silver-plated chocolatiere for a song!
Laduree's teapots are a delight and an ongoing challenge...
Last but not least a silver water flask for the watercolor artist..
Surely something you can not do without!
For more silver, visit the Musée de l'Argenterie 109-113,avenue Daumesnil

From the French book of silver marks, Poincons d'Or et de Platine :

"Silverware will always be the most beautiful ornament of the table"
