Otagiri Shell Tablescape

Pat decided to challenge herself and come up with a month of "seaside" tablescapes. She thought it would be fun to see how many different tablescapes in the same theme she could come up with. So here's the first table:.
For the first seaside table, Pat mixed Fiesta(ware) and classic Otagiri "Shell" dinnerware


Before setting the table, Pat draped a fishnet over a white tablecloth and set down navy blue place mats 


Flatware is "Antiqua Frost" by Towle


The accent/salad plate is by Otagiri - it's a beautiful white, thin porcelain shell shape

The dinner plate is newer "Cobalt" Fiesta(ware)

The first charger is a "White" Fiesta(ware) Chop Plate

These over-sized wicker-like chargers are from Costco years ago


Although Pat didn't use cups on the table, I wanted to show what the shape was like

To continue the seaside/shell theme, Pat used these silver shell napkin rings from Tuesday Morning

The centerpiece consisted of a sailboat filled with shells and small white lanterns

Instead of candles, Pat used tea lights on a shell

  1. You find the best things at second hand stores! Those shell plates are wonderful and I really like them with the cobalt blue and the natural wicker chargers. I have not made it to the beach this year but this table
    surely makes me wish I could.
