Looking like an especially well-regulated art nouveau lava lamp, the Riedel Vinum Series Cuvee/Prestige glass was designed to add to your enjoyment of your favorite sparkling wines. The obvious and prime attraction to any bubbly is the bubbles. This glass is known as 416/48 to Riedel loyalists; at the interior bottom of its weighty, languidly curved bowl lies a small crystal pinhole. This etched "fizz mark" provides a rough surface on which the beads form, rising to the surface in a steady stream through the center of the liquid. It may sound scientifically dry, but it's just Riedel's way of putting the "fizz" in "physics." --Tony Mason

This fast-paced, half-hour look at art nouveau, the Arts and Crafts Movement that sprang up at the end of the 19th century, would have benefited from a slower pace. Still, as a beginner's guide to understanding art nouveau, it does a credible job, quoting experts from around the world. Divided into 10 parts, the video traces the beginnings of the movement as a revolt against assembly-line sameness before explaining how it drew from other cultures (Japanese, Islamic, Celtic) and valued spirituality and nature. Many magnificent pieces featured in an exhibit at the National Gallery of Art are shown. Big and small examples abound, from architecture by Frank Lloyd Wright and Charles Rennie Mackintosh to the famed Lalique dragonfly ("one of the greatest pieces of jewelry of all time"). There's so much here, you'll need to watch it more than once, and hit the pause button, to truly revel in art nouveau's celebration of artistic freedom. --Valerie J. Nelson

Towards the end of the 19th century, artists, designers, and architects in Europe and North America began to reject the prevailing styles of the time, and turned to new sources for inspiration. They were influenced by the world of nature and the unconsci

In the first decade of the twentieth century, Russian painting opened up like a bursting dam, behind which had massed all the current revolutionary art movements of Europe. On one hand it developed a version of art nouveau, on another it became involved with theatre, set decoration, and book design. Artists such as Alexander Benois, Kazimir Malevich, and Marc Chagall took other personal directions. Groups emerged with names like the Blue ROse, the Link, the Triangle and the World of Art, and there were Russian versions of the Symbolists. Some of these were to become international figures in twentieth century art, and in a couple of decades Russian art was to take an honored place in the world.

Measuring approx. 16 inches in height, this sculpture and lamp is a superb representation of the Art Deco style. Made with cold cast bronze, this piece features bold outlines and geometric forms that convey affluence and sophistication. It is even more impressive when doubled up as a pair. The photos do not do justice. The special production process of this piece, originated from Great Britain, uses actual bronze powder mixed in the cold cast resin in order to ensures a richer, more life-like presentation. The polished elegance and refined beauty, combined with its function for everyday use, delivers the essence of Art Deco and provides a captivating visual focus. This piece is heavy and well made. The power cord has a on/off switch and the bottom is padded for the protection of your furniture. Simply put, very much a class act quality product.

New experience indeed. Cirque du Soleil's Nouvelle Experience is another video compilation of acrobatic feats and inspired clowning. For example, four women on a suspended platform twist and contort their bodies until you'd swear their spines were made of rubber. Then lithe, muscular men and women launch themselves off of a teeter-totter so they can spin in all directions in mid-air; or they do the splits while walking on a tightrope; or they spin and balance umbrellas with their feet. Plus the stilt-walkers, the trapeze artists, the guy balancing on a giant ball--it goes on and on, all of it precise and impressive. A high point of this particular compilation is David Shiner's ingenious clown routine, in which he wordlessly convinces random audience members to be the actors in a silent movie. It's really, really funny. There's just not much else to be said about it. --Bret Fetzer
