"  Both of Jonathan Adler&amp;#039;s 18-inch-tall Giant Anemone ceramic vases are hand-cast, but the platinum version (left) requires one more firing than its white-glazed counterpart. Eugen von Boch&amp;#039;s HIGH lead-crystal decanter has a solid stopper and base, while the similar Allegori, also from Villeroy &amp;amp;amp; Boch, has a glass body, hollow stopper and is half the price. Both dinner plates are porcelain, but Christian Tortu&amp;#039;s Verdure for Raynaud is hand-painted; J. Seignolle&amp;#039;s Jardin D&amp;#039; Orient is transfer-printed. Iittala&amp;#039;s Stella glass (left) is mouth-blown, while Riedel&amp;#039;s paper-thin O line wine tumbler is molded. Christofle&amp;#039; s curvaceous Galea flatware is available in sterling (left) or silver plate. The one-of-a-kind, 22-inch-tall Casper candlestick and taper from Tobias Wong is a striking piece of handblown, hand-cut crystal; Firelight Glass sells its imported distant cousin at a fraction of the price.  Martin Szekely&amp;#039;s limited-edition sterling-silver Reflets tray (left) requires up to 85 hours work; Bagatelle, also from Christofle, is a pr\u00EAt-\u00E0-porter version in plate. Calvin Klein offers black square trays in lacquer (HIGH) and wood (LOW). Both Fazzoletti fluted vases, by Fulvio Bianconi for Venini, are mouth-blown, but the HIGH version layers more than one kind of glass, while the vase at right is a single color. Rosenthal&amp;#039;s Free Spirit (left), a slim 12 1/2-inch plate by Robin Platt, costs more than the heftier Loft, from Thomas, its casual line. Eva Zeisel&amp;#039;s Upright vases for KleinReid come in a limited mouth-blown crystal edition (left, sold as a trio\u20147 1/2, 9 1/2 and 12 inches\u2014for $360; smallest size shown) or a handmade porcelain edition for which each vase is sold separately (from $55). William Yeoward&amp;#039;s lead-crystal Coco goblet (left) is hand-cut; its less expensive Country collection sister is unadorned. The handles of Mariposa&amp;#039;s bamboo-inspired stainless-steel flatware are either silver-plated pewter (left) or birch.             The HIGH version of the reissued Verner Panton Fun DM1 chandelier (1964) is made from hand-cut mother-of-pearl disks; the LOW features disks of machine-cut stainless steel (both are signed and numbered). The platinum Garland dessert plate (left) is made of bone china, while its humbler counterpart, Graffiti Floral, is stoneware; both are from Calvin Klein. Waterford&amp;#039;s lead-crystal Lismore martini glass (left) is handcrafted, while the lead-crystal Duchesse that Vera Wang designed for Wedgwood utilizes technology that brings down the price. The pedestal on Wang&amp;#039;s blown-glass pitcher for Wedgwood is a labor-intensive flourish; the equally sleek Vintage martini pitcher by Marquis by Waterford is footless and therefore lower priced. Achieving color consistency in lead crystal is challenging, so the amethyst William Yeoward Amy goblet (left) costs twice as much as Maggie, its glass counterpart from Yeoward&amp;#039;s Country collection.
