[QUOTE="Blackhorse, post: 314569, member: 1365"] Thanks to alfredo for his critical analysis. As my training is mostly grounded in the graphic arts, metalsmithing and metal sculpture I suppose I've had more experience with pearls than porcine husbandry. Be that as it may, the appreciation and interpretation of art and much of design is thankfully an arena in which standards can be individual. Me...I love items that are commonly objects of everyday use, made into objects d'art by a phenomenal artisan. Be it a Cellini salt cellar, a Revere silver service, a Nakashima table or bench, a Tiffany lamp...etc., etc., etc. Is a Faberge gold and enamel cigarette case of lesser merit than one of aluminum with Riz-La stamped into the side? Well, as has been said, it's a very personal call. And unlike many other forum areas, the posters here have all been careful to note that their stated preferences are just that. So kudos to fellow posters for that. I'm sure that someone will come back to correct me for some subtle nuance of understanding or expression. I guess we all have our calling. For me....I have a set of twin daggers and an Olivewood pipe both calling to me from the bench in my studio...so I gotta go. [/QUOTE]
