Spode Buttercup Tablescape

As the State continues to shut down (again) around us, Pat showed up to do at least one more table. This time she chose one of her favorites - Spode Buttercup. [She had so many place settings that she gave me eight for my own collection - I'm a lucky sister....She still has eighteen settings left.]

Spode "Buttercup" was produced from 1924 until 2003. Both the "older" and "newer" (1960-2003) versions were among the most popular dinnerware ever produced. [Both versions were listed in Harry Rinker's book Dinnerware of the 20th Century: The Top 500 Patterns.]

The flatware is Italian "Roma" from Horchow

The surprisingly light-weight wooden chargers are from Pier 1 several years ago

Not only did I get the dinnerware as a gift, Pat's daughter bought me the "Espresso" glassware to go with it.

Since the pattern of the dinnerware is "busy," Pat used a simple centerpiece of greenery
