Here's some ideas to get started...
I have this Italian chip and dip dish. It's striking in real life. Great to use at cocktails.
A great idea to use on a buffet:
Great table decorations:
These are salt and pepper shakers:
These look great with plain china:
This is one of my favorite crystal patterns, from the 1920's, made in Cambridge, Ohio. Very hard to find but I am piecing together a collection.
What pieces do you have in your collections? An equestrian table is coming, stay tuned!
OOOH, that crystal is just breath-taking! I had no idea anyone ever made anything like it! Wow. If I saw that at an antique mall I would want to snap it up... Who is the manufacturer?
ReplyDeleteI actually own two of the china horse and rider napkin rings, though I'm fairly certain mine have actual human riders and not anthropmorphic foxes. :) I also have a nice little collection of matching china pieces that are painted with fox hunting scenes. Don't know the manufacturer, but I have a teapot, several lidded boxes and four plates. My mother-in-law found all of these items at yard sales and antique malls in KY.
I also love that bit-end flatware. Where was that when I was registering for my wedding? ;) I have a friend who plays polo who would have a fit over the silver salt n' peppers shakers. She never entertains but I can just see them on display in her dining room.
Erm, never mind about the flatware... just discovered it's a discontinued pattern from Hermes. Read: way, WAY out of my price range! Fun to see it, though.
ReplyDeleteI think there's another pattern out there similar and available. Check out Malvern Saddlery in PA. They have a pattern there I'd love to have.
DeleteReally awesome your china horse and rider napkin rings, nice little collection of matching china piece.I also like those.
