I apologize for the pictures, a flash had to be used on most photos as it has been dark and rainy here for the past 3 days...3 more days to go until we will see the sun! Any photo may be enlarged by clicking on it.
The inspiration for tonight's table was the creme soup bowls/underplates I found on eBay, recently...Copeland Spode Valencia. There are no chips and very little crazing, almost like they have never been used. I was sucked into bidding on them because of the colors, my favorite blue/green combination against the creamy white. I was the only bidder, getting them for $4.95 each! Replacement, Ltd. is asking $89.95 for the flat cream soup bowl only! I feel like I got the deal of the year! They have a band around the middle of the bowl that is described as a Chelsea Wicker pattern, a band of the grapes is under that.
A blue tablecloth was layered with a lace cloth. Napkins are white with blue/green cotton with what looks like a blueberry pattern. They kind of mimic the pattern on the soup bowls, which are blue and green grapes.
The setting itself consists of Vera Bradley charger plates, a Wedgwood Hedge Rose dinner plate, Bordallo Pinheiro Frog Service salad plate and finally the star of the show, Spode Valencia.
The flatware is Oneida Afterglow, circa 1956. I used the International Silver Frontenac, circa 1903, cream soup spoons, too.
The green glassware is Libbey Duratuff Gibralter pattern in juniper.
