Noritake Crestwood Platinum Tablescape

Elegant and simple, Crestwood Platinum is one of Noritake's most popular patterns. It has a wide, etched-like platinum trim that sets the plate off. Pat decided to use it this week for a more formal table for New Years Day.

Pat mixed stainless steel, platinum and "silver" with black. 

You can see the off-set silver place mat over the black one adding more interest

Flatware is black "San Remo" by Hampton Silversmiths

The napkin consists of a sheer white overlay on top of a silver colored one held together by a "laced" silver napkin ring

Here I cringe.....Noritake advertises that this pattern is "dishwasher safe".....

The charger is "Color Spectrum" by Mikasa

The stainless steel drinkware is from Pier 1
