Setting a Festive Scene For the Big Countdown(2012/02/17)
   Hold the dinner plates and soup bowls on New Year Eve, a night reserved for hors d'oeuvres and desserts. Hosts can get away with serving nothing but caviar and fancy sweets, washed down with Champagne. But proper accouterments are important .And paper and plastic will not do on Dec. 31.
   Lido glassware for wine or Champagne comes rimmed in gold or platinum. Porcelain bowls for little nibbles or special desserts are decorated with 14-karat gold glaze, but they can go in the dishwasher. Desserts can be served on a 12-inch ceramic platter decorated with Audubon prints and a set of four eight-inch-round plates, each with a different pattern . .
   Forte Tritan crystal Champagne flutes are made with titanium and zirconium instead of lead, so they are less breakable than ordinary crystal glasses. A self-balancing serving tray that can be carried with one hand has a stainless steel frame and a 16-inch-diameter plastic tray that comes in green or blue.Christofle's silver-plated straws are just right for sipping Champagne straight out of a split.
   Driade Kosmo, the tabletop and accessories line from the Italian design firm Driade, has been sold in the United States in limited quantities. But it will soon be available in abundance.
