Over view of the table

 |
The place setting
|
 |
Flatware is "Grand Colonial" by Wallace
|
 |
First layer of the place setting is black "Color Spectrum" by Mikasa
|
 |
Pat used a simple, super white coupe dinner plate
|
 |
The next layer is a very glossy black salad plate ("Ebony" by Johnson Brothers)
|
 |
The small liner is a Bread/Butter plate
|
 |
We found these sherbets on eBay - "Mt. Pleasant" by L.E. Smith Glass Co. (1920's through 1934)
|
 |
This label was still on one of the salad plates that we bought from Replacements.com
|
 |
Pat wanted to use glitzy glassware and "Lady Diamond" fits the bill
|
 |
Pat used very heavy crystal candle holders in two sizes
|
 |
What is more appropriate than a pre-show Martini (shaken - not stirred, of course)?
|
 |
Black satin-like napkin wrapped in a white chiffon overlay
|
 |
Crystal votive holders sit on small mirrors for more glamor
|
 |
Pat used a faux projector spray painted black and movie reels for the centerpiece
|
 |

An absolutely stunning table! Those black sherbet bowls are quite impressive as are the crystal glasses. I would have never guessed those came from Ross. Your collections and variety of pieces are amazing and I'm just slightly "pea green with envy" over your variety of silver flatware!
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful and elegant table! I love the mirrored placemats and those lovely glasses!!!
ReplyDeleteOh my how grand! The Oscars are the only one I watch- it's my favorite. Your table theme was really kicked off perfectly with the projector and reals. I love the glam from the mirrored pieces and the black and white dishes are elegant. The beautiful stemware and shimmery napkin rings look lovely with it. This would be a great way to spend the evening watching the academy awards being given out!
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteI loved your table, black and white are my favourite colors and the mirror placemats are the best detail in this composition!
hugs
Wonderful idea! The black and white is so classic and elegant.
ReplyDeleteBetty looks perfectly attired for a night at the Oscars in her black dress and white feather boa. Using a black and white theme and for the china and stemware is totally classic. The mirrored placemats and the beautiful crystal are the stunning compliments for this dramatic tablescape.
