   Ok, I wouldn’t expect to read about a putto on top of a soup tureen! But perhaps that unusual placement will help me remember the word. Thanks!

   Or perhaps that placement is what makes the dish so noteworthy, Julia. (?)

   Would have liked to have seen that soup tureen!

   Mama, the way the author described these items, I’m sure she had specific pieces in mind. Too bad there were no photos!

   I know exactly what a putto is but I never knew what it was called!

   Kathy, I was the same: I’ve seen them but didn’t know the word. 🙂

   That’s a brand new one for me. What a great word.

    I think it’s one we might use down the road, Lisa. Thanks for stopping by! 🙂

    That’s a fabulous word, I too know exactly what it means, but would have used cherub instead.

    I know what you mean, Louise. I know I’ve seen them – and will probably see them again. It’s good to know the word!
