"Ceramic" by Wilendur

It's Tablescape Thursday!

My favorite party each week hosted by Susan over at Between Naps On The Porch.

Please come and join us with your tablescape.

Several months ago a dishing friend posted some images of a tablecloth he had

recently acquired and I began to show signs of a fever!  You know that feeling,

when you get the itch to start a new hunt?  I never expected it to be such a short

search, but the stars must have been correctly aligned.  I found it on eBay a few

weeks ago, set it up in my watch list and here it is!

By Wilendur from the 50s it is called "Ceramic" and can be seen on page 122 of

Michelle Hayes' book "Elegant Table Linens". It's a Schiffer Book ISBN 0-7643-2090-4.

And to make the deal even sweeter, this auction also included six pristine napkins! The

sewn in tag is still present on the tablecloth.

On to the dishes!

When I first saw David's images, I knew right away which dishes I would 

use to set my version of this cloth. I'd start with these chargers from Home Goods.

And then top them with Shamrock Post 86 dinner plates.

Followed by the salad plates that go with the chargers.

The salad plates come in several different designs.

Green glassware is vintage, the wine glasses are from Pier 1 this past winter.

'Tequila' roses from my garden.

Little wooden Shaker pitcher.

Thanks for stopping by for another tablescape here on TLRT!
