A Garden Party with Meissen, Deutsche Blume! Welcome to the 107th Tablescape Thursday!

Have I told you lately how much I LOVE...I mean reallllly love Tablescape Thursday? When would we ever have an opportunity to see so many beautiful collections of exquisite, delightful...sometimes even whimsical...china, crystal and flatware if you didn't stop by and link your amazing tablescapes here each week?!

This week we are international travelers, jetting off to Switzerland for a wonderful dinner party. Isn't Blogland awesome...and no jet lag! :)




Cornelia has invited us for dinner in the garden...








The roses are so beautiful in Cornelia's gorgeous Meissen vase!




I'll let Cornelia tell you all about the beautiful pieces she used in her garden party table setting.

"The China is by Meissen, Deutsche Blume. The breadplate is by Meissen.







"The silverplated charger plate is by Robbe and Berking.




"The cutlery is silver by Jezler. The pattern is called Orfèvre. It is hand-hammered and created in 1930 in memory of the Swiss Physicist Auguste Piccard the grandfather of Bertrand Piccard who made the first flight around the world in a balloon.




"The candle holder is silver and made by Jezler. The Tablecloth is Suisse Embroidery. Underneath is a vintage white linen Tablecloth. The napkins are matching to this tablecloth.




"The stemware is made by Baccarat/France and the pattern is called Picadilly.

The tablecloth is vintage and hand embroidered. The pattern on the tablecloth is called "Richelieu.




"The chandelier is silver made by Bruckmann Germany and the plate underneath is silver by Jezler.



"Tea and Coffeepot, sucrier, crémier and Tea, Espresso and ordinary Coffee Cups are all made by Meissen, Deutsch Blume."












Cornelia, thank you so much for inviting us over to your beautiful home for a lovely dinner party in the garden.



Everything was just perfect! :)




Looking forward to viewing your beautiful tablescapes!

Yay! I finally figured out where your comment form is (thanks to your help). I always love your settings, and have to say that the ones from Switzerland are among my favorites, since they make me feel like I'm on vacation! Is Cornelia a sister or friend? You obviously both love and appreciate beauty! Thanks so much for hosting this FUN event every week!!!!

Oh my dear this is stunning! I didn't do TT this week because it was a crazy week at the clinic but will soon.
Is this a friend or relative to you? If so, you are so lucky! What a wonderful table setting! Love it!
By the way I think you "need these" candles for your guest room or the kitty for your upstairs bonus room!
Hugs dear girl! Terry
