I just love this chic porcelain tray from Hermes at Waterside Shops, NaplesA wonderful, beautiful elegant gift from good friends Tim and Jerry ! Hermes Paris created this vintage looking porcelain card tray "Rythme" with platinum decoration. I love the chic of it. The very perfection of it. The simplicity... very moderne 1930's... The enclosed card says that it is dishwasher safe, however hand washing is recommended in order to protect the delicate platinum striping. Also,in very fine print "Not microwave safe" This small tray could also be used to hold a daily supply of fresh cigarettes...or the days supply of freshly laundered and ironed cash... !!! I do remember years ago when Tim, Jerry and I were out in a local watering hole here in Naples, and we ran into the Pulitzer twins, Zac and Mac... they were both wearing flip flops, designer jeans, tee shirts, and Hermes "H" buckle belts... how cool... they are the sons of Roxanne and Peter Pulitzer, and Lily is their stepmother. Here is the french on the reverse : Vous venez d'acquerir une porcelaine d'exception : Rythme. Cette collection passe au lave-vaisselle ; toutefois, nous vous recommandons de la laver a' la main afin de preserver l'eclat et la delicatesse de son decor platine. Also, I so enjoyed reading on Joe Ruggiero about Bouchon, a new restaurant in Beverly Hills, it sounds so good... Bouchon 235 N. Canon tel 310.271.9910 DF*****
