Table Setting with Spode, Chinese Rose: Welcome to the 190th Tablescape Thursday!

Greetings!  For this week's Tablescape Thursday, we're stopping by Cornelia's beautiful home in Switzerland.  Recently, Cornelia prepared a wonderful table setting to share with friends and family for Good Friday.

Cornelia said, "I set the table with Spode’s Chinese Rose.  Chinese Rose is the most popular and long-lived of all Spode patterns, and is derived from the Spode INDIA pattern which was copied from early C18th Chinese KANG HSI porcelain by Josiah Spode in 1813-15."

"The tablecloth and the napkins are by Curth Bauer, a German manufactory."

"The champagne glasses are made by the Danish Manufactory Holmegaard."

Place setting of Spode, Chinese Rose...

"In Switzerland we all eat chocolate eggs and bunnies. This one is filled with gianduja-stracciatella chocolate. Delicious and hard to resist, especially when they are made by one of my favourite chocolate maker, the Swiss chocolate maker Laederach."

"The cutlery is silver by Jezler (Switzerland), the pattern is called Reed. The teaspoon is a different pattern by Jezler, it is called Lilly of the Valley."

"The vase with the tulips is Meissen."

"The two bunnies are made in the German Manufactory, Marolin."

"The paper eggs are made in Erzgebirge/Germany. You can open them and fill them with chocolates eggs or bunnies."

"The candleholder is Mexican silver."

Cornelia, thanks so much for inviting us into your home to share this beautiful table setting!

Looking forward to the tablescapes posted for this Tablescape Thursday!
