Maggi Giles has been our friends since 1972 when we were lucky to have seen a sculpture she made in the Galerie Nouvelle Images in The Hague. I called her up at her studio in Amsterdam and told her we loved the sculpture. Since then we have been close friends. On our 25th anniversary, we asked Maggi to make us a set of dishes and she agreed. This is a place setting for eight, including two candlesticks, two serving bowls, a fish platter, a coffee pot, salt and pepper shakers and a tomato plate. Maggi helped us choose the appropriate utensils. Maggi said that we were obligated to use the dishes and keep them on display, and when we have a fancy party, we bring them out of their cabinet. Each one must be hand washed in order to protect the edges. these dishes will be specially packed for safe transport to Miami, and the cabinet will go also. Maggi's book, "The Piggy Chef" and her book, "The Perfect Planet" will get featured space in our new home.
