This elusive line is one of my favorites! The heavy glass feels so "right" when you handle it.

I wish I could find more!

I have what I believe to be the 14" Sandwich Plate. I think the color must be Mocca Brown. The glass is quite solid and it has two fun handles looping out from the circular plate. I was lucky to discover it at a thrift store in Wisconsin. This photo gives you a sense of the color and texture.

Outstanding!

I wasn't absolutely sure that it was what I thought it was but it did remind me of the little Connoisseur I had seen on abenseibeldesign.com. It was $14 which is great since I'm fairly sure now that it is Raymor Connoisseur (though then I thought twrice...it was a little pricey for a thrift store item...)

It's the real McCoy

That's RC alright! Breathtaking. What's amazing is the weight of the glassware.

Honestly, I just don't like *crackle* anything contemporary. This is the one notable exception.
