Beautiful, Vintage, Copeland Spode, Tower... Welcome to the 106th Tablescape Thursday!

Happy Tablescape Thursday! How was your day? Are you looking forward to a nice long Labor Day weekend? Any cookouts planned? I hope whatever you do...it's fun and relaxing. Enjoy these last treasured days of summer. I'm almost in the mood for fall...but not quite. With temps still in the 90's in Georgia and the blessing of low humidity, I'm still tablescaping out on the porch.

This week I'm using a china I've never used on the porch before...well, at least not for Tablescape Thursday. I set the table with Copeland Spode, Tower and I really had no idea what I'd be using for a centerpiece.

On a recent trip to Publix Supermarket, I came across some lovely roses and thought perhaps I'd place a single rose at each place setting. Also, I spotted some sweet daisies and bought them with plans to use them in last weeks Lemonade Days post. Once home, my plans completely changed. Does that ever happen to you? :) I ended up using an urn I bought quite a long time ago to create a little arrangement. Do daisies and roses go together? Well, they do now! (LOL) Hope you enjoy!













You may recognize the Creeping Jenny from the pots out on my deck. It worked well dripping down the sides in this arrangement.







China is Copeland Spode, pattern is, Tower. This is vintage china with the old, oval Copeland Spode hallmark dating it back to the 1920's.




Four place settings have vintage ruby stemware for the iced beverage. Since I only have four of those, I mixed in two pieces of Waterford, Araglin. The wine glasses are Waterford, Crimson Hock. Salt cellars are ruby flash, also.




I'm gradually collecting monogrammed sterling napkin rings. It's kind of hard to find them with an H monogram. But isn't that the fun part...the hunt. :)




Since I only have three so far, I used a fun napkin fold for the flatware at three of the settings. Would you be interested in knowing how this fold is made? If so, I'll do a post showing how to create it.




Time for a little candlelight. I'll hush now and just let you enjoy. :)



































Chargers: Neiman Marcus, a few years ago
China: Vintage (1920's) Copeland Spode, Tower
Stemware: Iced Beverage, Vintage Ruby Flash and Waterford, Araglin; Wine, Waterford, Crimson Hock
Flatware: Sterling, Towle, King Richard
Salt Cellars: Ruby Flash...found on eBay
Tablecloth and napkins: Vintage Cutwork, Linen
Urn: Found in a local antique/thrift store...A Classy Flea

Oh my goodness, Susan...what a beautiful summer setting for this week's table!! I adore your Waterford, Crimson Hock stemware & was just talking to DH about getting some for Christmas this year. How fun to see it used during the summer months too.

Your china is soooo pretty, as well as those lacey chargers. They're on my wish list, too. LOL

Very, very pretty table!
Have a very happy & relaxing Labor Day weekend!!
Thanks for letting us join you on the porch each week for TT.

Oh I love Spode SO much!!!! I have been lusting after it for years. Unfortunately, my husband, who is English, cannot stand the stuff. He says it reminds him of old ladies houses. I try to explain that it can be updated but he insists that it is all about old ladies who sit around and drink tea - haha. I am still working on him though...

Beautiful table Susan! I love the red and white Spode dishes together with the lighter color roses; such a nice combination. The creeping jenny looks great!

I wish I could find chargers like yours. I looked a while back and need to get back on that task!

Susan, I just love the ruby stemware. My aunt had beautiful ruby glasses that someone else inherited. I have a real fondness for them as they were always at the head table for her Christmas Eve Dinner. I loved that you showed that you didn't have all six and how to work around that.

Thanks for another great Tablescape Thursday. It is a highlight of my week!

At Thursday, September 02, 2010 , Blogger Marianne said...

Ok Susan I have to ask. Did you actually have people come over for diner and did you eat at that table or was the table only set up for these gorgeous display purpose? I ask because there is so much China on the table and with that gorgeous centerpiece (and yes daisies and roses go together you proved that) there would be no room for food and people couldn't see it each other.
I love doing a little tablescape and I am strictly amateur but when I see a truly beautiful one like yours I can't help wondering " do people actually eat there and sit at that table?"
Thank you in advance for letting me know.
Thank you for the party I think it was my first time ever linking up.

Hi Susan,
back from holidays, I enjoyed your table very much. This vibrant red really means summer to me. I am not redy with all my work yet so I have to make a break from tablescaping. But in a few weeks, hopefully earlier, I will join your party again.
Greetings, Johanna

I am not a red person but this table has a softness to it. I think the heavy use of white with crystal and the soft centerpiece is such a perfect balance to the strong dinnerware. I think this may be my favorite table you have ever done (that I have seen). It is classic yet feminine and very inviting. Nice job.

Tower Spode are my favorite dishes--I just have a few pieces but have quite a history with these dishes.

Yes, together, and your centerpiece is as pretty as my bouquet was! Thanks for this special (to me) post!

I sure would like to know what the name of the pattern of the charger plates. They are just beautiful. I have searched in google for charger plates and just cannot find anything like them so far.
Thank you,
Judi

Judi, I bought those at either Neiman Marcus or Horchow about 4-5 years ago. I think it was Horchow. They are owned by the same company and carry the same stuff, so I always forget which one I ordered them from. They don't have a pattern name that I'm aware of...no markings on them. Sorry I don't have any other info. They were only on the site a short while and I've never seen them on there again. Hopefully one day they will have them or something similar available again.

While jumping around reading your different posts today, I found this tablescape. I am in love with this one. It makes me want to run out to Ebay and buy some Spode Red Tower and Ruby Flash. That's what is great about Ebay, you can start a collection immediately. Your iced beverage glasses are fab. I collect brown and blue and white transferware but no red; yet. This red tablescape was my Valentines gift from you. Thanks. It made my day. Happy Valentine's Day to you.

Thanks, Marsha! Happy Valentine's Day to you! Yes, you can definitely find Spode Tower on eBay. It's usually on there in the Blue and White pattern, also. So fun to collect it a little along the way and watch your collection grow.
