special people in their lives. These might be some of their selections: * Peter Carl Faberge was the jeweller to the tsars of Russia at the turn of the century whose name is synonymous with the jewelled-egg objets d'art he created for them. Today's discriminating gift-giver can pass on this tradition with Limoges china inspired by the originals and made by the Faberge Co. Patterns in the Imperial Egg collection, (each $345 for a 5-piece place setting) features 18-karat gold band borders. The Cameo Egg pattern is in soft hues of rose on white background; Silver Anniversary Egg has a silver platinum design on a deep blue background; Danish Palaces Egg features pink translucent panels within palm leaf borders. * A small but complex treasure is Bowl Colorado ($355), an Austrian crystal creation for the Swarovski Selection by French designer Joel Desgrippes. It has a round, smooth bowl nestled within an octagonal frame and surrounded by three colour-frosted crystal spheres. * Austrian crystal wineglasses for connoisseurs are available as tasting sets from Reidel Crystal of America. The Vinum Tasting Set ($89) has four popular shapes -- chardonnay, sauvignon blanc, pinot noir and cabernet sauvignon. The tasting set in the Ouverture design ($35) has one glass each for red, white, champagne, and water. * The Moon and Stars Christmas Bowl ($175) from the Metropolitan Museum of Art is a festive lead-crystal bowl based on a period Sandwich glass design. The 91 -inch bowl has ruby red glass applied over clear glass, with star shapes and flat roundels cut away for a sparkling two-colour effect.
