PAPRIKA + Poppies = Pizazz!

I'm joining Susan over at Between Naps On The Porch for her weekly
tablescaping party.  Come join in on the fun!

The newest Fiesta color Paprika is now in production and has been released to retailers.
Mixed reviews from some collectors, but I'm very pleased with this new addition to the
color lineup.  It will be a great color to add to the Fall hues, but also works really well
when added to a summery tablescape.

Here it is by itself.


And shown with other color choices, as I began to come up with a combination
for my first tablescape incorporating Paprika.


Shown with different combintations of Persimmon, Chocolate, Sunflower,
Chartreuse, Lemongrass, Tangerine  and Shamrock.






I think they all play together nicely, but for this particular vintage tablecloth,
I chose the combination below. Paprika dinner plate, Chartreuse luncheon plate,
Tangerine salad plate and the berry bowl in Sunflower.


I chose to skip the flower vase and napkins for this tablescape so that I could highlight
the color combination itself.  Shown with glassware from Target, flatware from Home Goods.
The tablecloth is vintage with large "Paprika" hued poppies as its main design element.










I'm really liking the new color and look forward to incorporating it in future tablescapes.
What's your take on this new color?
Thanks for coming by for another Tablescape Thursday!

  16. Beautiful as always! When my nephew and his wife married a few years ago, she chose Fiestaware and opted not to have a formal china pattern on the bridal registry.

    She still loves it, but wants to start a collection of a different color. They've recently moved to a new house (well, an 80s house they've comepletely remodeled) and she thinks her new kitchen calls for a warmer color. I'm not sure if she said she wants paprika or tangerine. I'll send her to have a look at your wonderful blog for ideas and inspiration!

    Have a great weekend!

  18. I love being an "enabler" .... when it comes to Fiesta at least! This new Paprika is a color I can work with in so many ways.

    Bill - your niece will be most welcome and not have to look far on my blog to find Fiesta! LOL

    Donna ... Petticoat - Great minds must think alike, look to next week's Tablescape Thursday to see Paprika paired with some blues!

    See you all again soon,

    Candy

  19. I absolutely LOVE this! Orange is my theme color this year, and I have given myself permission to enjoy every hue of it. This color is simply beautiful IMO, and your pairings are lovely.

    I will be back next time to see the paprika and blue.

  20. I'm all in favor of the new color. I don't have any Fiesta Ware, but would love to have a cabinet full. I fondly remember my aunt's kitchen filled with these colorful dishes. ~ Sarah

  22. Hi, I am about to be a first time buyer of Fiesta and stumbled upon your blog as I was looking for ideas on color combo's. All I can say is WOW, what a fantastic site and thank you for totally convincing me I will love Fiesta.

    After checking out your tablescapes, I am in love with the Paprika, Chartreuse, Tangererine and Sunflower combo, so my decision was made easy by you thanks.

    I will definitely be back repeatedly for inspiration!
