NEW YORK – In most of the United States, Thanksgiving means gathering with friends and family, but in Palm Beach, Florida, it marks the arrival of high season. Well-heeled and well-connected members of the East Coast elite descend on the island to escape the ravages of winter through shopping, golfing, yachting, lounging, and appearing at gala charity balls. The approach of late November also prompts Palm Beach hostesses to dust off their Dodie Thayer lettuce ware services in anticipation of months of dinner parties and other intimate gatherings.
Thayer’s bright green ceramics command your attention and hold it. Unfurled leaves serve as plates; upright pieces with tightly arranged leaves, seemingly just starting to bud, make for salt and pepper shakers; and claiming the center of the table, as it should, is a tureen in the shape of a head of lettuce, with leaves peeling away from its heart. It is almost aggressively three-dimensional, and it is gorgeous.

PALM BEACH, Fla. – On April 7, Hindman Auctions will present the Palm Beach Collections sale featuring European and Asian furniture and decorative arts from the Michael Hall collection, with absentee and Internet live bidding through LiveAuctioneers. By all accounts, Michael Hall — actor, collector, and art dealer — was a memorable character who led a remarkable life. He was mentored by Wilhelm Valentiner, a specialist in Italian Renaissance Art and then a consultant to what would become the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Through Valentiner, Hall was introduced to Sir John Pope-Hennessy and Sir Kenneth Clark, and formed friendships with a number of authorities including Rudolf Wittkower, H.W. Janson, and Francis Watson. In 1961, Pope-Hennessy convinced Hall to move to London to study sculpture at the Victoria & Albert Museum.
