It's been a while since we used our formal Flintridge "Midnight Rose" dinnerware - Pat and I found it at a yard sale a few years ago for under $20. It was in pristine condition, and considering it was a complete set of eight 5-piece place settings, we couldn't pass it up.
 |
| Produced from 1964 through 1972 by the California-based Flintridge China Company, the vintage pattern features a double platinum band with a black and platinum rose on a coupe plate |
 |
| Pat used a highly polished, modern black flatware to contrast with the vintage look of the plate |
 |
| You can see the double band of platinum better in this picture - I always think of the amazing skill it takes to hand apply it.....(I really am a dish nerd.) |
 |
| The charger is one of our favorites - Black "Color Spectrum" by Mikasa |
 |
| Just wanted to show the style of the footed cup - also with a double band of platinum |
 |
| Pat used these elegant "Midnight Black" goblets by Artland for more of a modern look |
 |
| Talk about mixing periods - Pat used Depression Glass "Mt. Pleasant" double candle holders for part of the centerpiece |
 |
| One last look from the other end of the table |

| Not expensive, not highly sought after.....I just think it is gorgeous anyway. |
This is truly a gorgeous and dramatic tablesetting! A few months ago I obtained a set of dinner and bread/butter plates in the Flintridge strata snow tulip pattern and have used them a few times already. Flintridge china was manufactured in Pasadena, where I live and I've become a fan of their patterns. Thank you for sharing your tablescape.
ReplyDeleteI like the modern and vintage combination, this makes a stunning tablescape.
ReplyDeleteThis post really caught my eye because of the title. My Mom attended Flintridge Sacred Heart Academy La Canada Flintridge, CA long before this china was produced. Roses are part of the ceremonies there so this pattern seems to be a good match. I'm going to see if I can find a couple of pieces for Mom. Thank you!
