Happy, Healthy New Year to my family and friends!
I have been asked several times about the china in my header, so I decided to use it for our New Years Eve dinner...we no longer go out for over-priced, mediocre, at best, dinners, that is for rookies! The china is Noritake Luray, circa 1935. It is white, cream, aqua, tan, yellow, green, pink and a tiny bit of indigo, all with a gold rim. I am still looking for several pieces...I know they are out there somewhere!
I started with a white damask tablecloth (which I should have run an iron over, by the looks) so that the china pattern would show up nicely. Added some solid dark aqua napkins instead of using the ones that go with the tablecloth.
I could only find 2 gold charger plates, so I am using a large aqua dinner plate as them, instead.
Next is the Luray dinner plate.
Next is the Luray square salad plate.
I added the dessert plate, which is the same shade of white and cream, from the same era as the Luray and goes very nicely. It is Hutschenreuther china, circa 1925-1939, some pieces which were used last week, also.
The final layer is the cream soup bowl. The underplate is a Hutschenreuther saucer as I only have 2 underplates so far and this table is set for four!
The stemware is aqua Noritake Sweet Swirl, circa 1988-1994.
I have once again used my favorite pattern, International Silver's Frontenac, circa 1903, sterling.
For the centerpiece I used the 16-inch oval platter and 3 gold beaded pillar candles.

We moved into our house in Windham 10 years ago today so I feel like your beautiful tablescape is a celebration of that. love, bbb
Gorgeous tablescape Marigene. I adore your Noritake dishes, so beautiful! Pretty aqua color in the glassware, it enhances the setting. Gorgeous! Have a wonderful, healthy and happy New Year!

Marigene,
This is such a lovely tablescape! I, too, have wondered if I had missed a post featuring those gorgeous dishes. The aqua blue napkin is stunning. Your tablecloth is so beautiful! I have way to many linens...but they were my first collecting fatish! Thank you for sharing this lovely tablescape with all of us. Happy hunting as you're looking for more pieces to add to your collection of dinnerware!
Fondly,
Pat
What an absolutely beautiful table setting. The china has such lovely colors and the silver is to die for!

Marigene, I love the colors you used with your beautiful dishes. Everything combined makes a really lovely table.--

I love the pattern and color of the plates. The flatware is really pretty and I'm in love with the aqua glasses. Great combination!
Beautiful setting--love the colors!
I am so happy to see them on a tablescape!! Gorgeous! I am on the look out for them for you too! Love the glasses and you found them at a thrift store. WOW!! Beautiful table. Happy New Year!!
Marigene, thanks for showing a table with the pretty Laray china! I love those colors, and your glasses and napkins complement the china beautifully. I'm with you -- New Year's Eve is best spent at home! Our tradition is a fondue supper by the fire.
Simply beautiful colors. I love all of the china and flatware!
Now I am not just drooling over your Frontenac, but over your Luray too! I spent so much time looking at the Frontenac on ebay last week! I would have to win the lottery though! The colors of the Luray are exquisite. Your aqua glasses are fantastic and so in right now. My mother had these in pink. I searched for those too a few years ago and again, I am going to have to wait for the lottery!
I have to agree about going out - and it is so crazy and expensive. Enjoy your lovely dinner and table.
I absolutely adore your china and silverware. Everything is so beautiful!

Yes, that china is exquisite. I admire it everytime I visit. The stack of dishes looks beautiful together. I think I have similar Noritake stemware, only mine is pink. The colors are gorgeous! Happy New Year!!
I am loving the Luray and those creamed soups, fabulous. Beautiful table. Happy New Year.

Those dishes are soo pretty and the tablescape is beautiful....love the glasses in that beautiful blue...
Oh my goodness Marigene, I love that Noritake pattern!!! It is very similar to the Condoro I have which is more green. But that sterling...all I can say is wow!! Gorgeous! I love the glassware, as you always have the best glassware anyway!! Where do you store all the pretties??? Thanks for stopping by and Happy New Year to you!!
I love that square salad plate...it's beautiful....well, the whole china pattern is beautiful....Have a wonderful New Years...I agree with you about eating at home....I would much rather make a great meal then pay over priced places for inferior food.....plus I love people giving me compliments!!! that's the real reason.....Thank you for stopping by to see Sophie's 2012 calendar.....daughter puts so much work into making it and she only makes one copy....For Me!!!
so it's nice to be able to show it off to my blog friends....Hugs, Sue
LOVE this Noritake pattern! What a clever idea to show us the lovely dishes in your heading.
Beautiful!
So much fun to see the dishes on the table.. wow those plates are gorgeous! Lovely table too. Here's hoping the new year brings much warmth, cheer and many, many blessings. xo marlis
I do love those dishes and I'm so glad you showcased them on your table. The aqua with the china is just perfect! Happy New Year to you. Dianne
Beautiful! love the Blue! Happy New year!
Gorgeous! Love the pop of darker aqua. The dishes are lovely and both the stemware and silverware are so beautiful. The pattern reminds me of my china set my MIL gave me in 1988. My colors are peach, pink, and green. They are still at our old home our son rents. I need to bring them home and use them again. Have a wonderful New Year.
Stunning china, I also admired it at your header. I just dropped by again to see your gorgeous table from TT at Susan's.
Happy New Year Marigene!

Marigene, I love the Noritake china from that era. And the blue is perfect for a winter setting! Have a happy and blessed New Year!
Noritake Luray is so beautiful. Nothing is the same as the vintage china from that time period. You've done a lovely job pairing it with the blue. Thanks for sharing. ~CJ
Happy New Year, Marigene. Your plates are stunning but my very favorite here is the flatware. What a gorgeous pattern! Thanks for meeting my granddaughter and for the sweet comment....Christine
Love your silver girl! But at the price of silver right now my beginning a collection of it is right out the window. Too bad too because it is stunning. Have a great new year.

Oh my, Marigene! I am swooning over this one! Those are the lovely plates in your header that I drool over each time I visit! I wondered what pattern they were! And your Frontenac...even the name makes me smile! Why don't they make silver like that any more...just gorgeous! What a lovely tablescape! A very Happy New Year to you and your family!...hugs...Debbie
Thank You for stopping by! I'm not sure about the tablecloth on my mothers Christmas Tablescape. It was purchased at Goodwill for $2.00and it was super crisp and clean.
I am just in love with your china set....I always admire it when stopping by your blog. Your tablescape is fabulous and I love those big dinner plates from TJ Maxx and what a deal!!
Best Wishes to you and your family this upcoming New Year!!
Such an elegant table! I love your dinnerware and silver. And the blue is the perfect accent for it.
Well, Marigene, this is just wonderful! The aqua is the perfect touch, and I can see why the silver is a favorite. So detailed.
Fantastic Dishes! I never get tired of looking at beautiful China. Excellent job... Have a wonderful New Year. XO Cindy
It's funny but I immediately identified you with that china! It worked so well with this table, I love the soup bowl! I like the aqua plate as a charger too. I can't get enough of that color lately. Was that little snowflake in the centerpiece from Target? I have them in all colors and bought more the other day (no wonder there's glitter all over my house!). Happy New Year!

Marigene,
I love your Noritake Luray china-it is beautiful! I really like the idea of using the platter for a centerpiece with candles-what a great idea. I might do the same thing and will be sure to credit you ;)

You had me at aqua! This is a most gorgeous pattern and you have made a beautiful table with it.
Happy New Year!
So THAT'S the name of that pattern! Luray, huh? OK...I'm trying to keep a listing of all the different patterns people are looking for so that I can alert them if I find it somewhere. It really is a beautiful, classic-looking pattern. I was surprised to see the square salad plate. VERY nice!!! I hope you have a wonderful New Year's Eve. We'll be staying in, too.
Lovely table! I love the aqua especially. Thanks for stopping by my blog and commenting on my Silver and Shimmer tablescape. I really appreciate it!

I am loving the aqua! Such the antithesis of the red and green at Christmas. As much as I love decorating for Christmas, when it's over I can't wait to get things taken down.
