One of my favorite set of dishes is English Chippendale made by the old English china manufacturer Johnson Brothers. It boasts lovely red chrysanthemums (or are they peonies?) scattered on a white ironstone background. I found this set antiquing several years ago and couldn't resist adding it to my dish collection!
I started with a red and blue toile table topper that I made last month. I plan on posting a tutorial later in the week on how I made it! Next I added a red charger as a base for the dinner plate, then layered a Wedgwood White salad plate , an English Chippendale bread and butter and last a little fruit bowl.
I found six glass hurricanes at the Goodwill for $2 each and filled them with broken china pieces and a white chunky candle.
Blue Country French napkins add a nice pop of color. And this is the vintage silverplate flatware I found a month or so ago , 8 place settings for $25!
Mmm, some fruit tarts for dessert!
I love red geraniums and they alternate with the hurricanes down the center of the table.I think it all makes for a pretty summery tablescape!
