How catalogers merchandise a once-in-a-lifetime product

Panache, a catalog “For Those Who Love to Entertain”, featured this triangular flute (two for $25) in a millennial-product spread, solo in large format and as a “guest star” with other products. Both companies offered two for $25, with The Paragon offering a discount on more than two sets. Betty Henley’s The Lighter Side catalog also chose this model for its Holiday 1999 front cover, and Sugarbush Gourmet Gift Baskets featured it as a prop in another product shot—but didn’t sell it.
