Green Transferware Tablescape

Pat set this week's table with a set of dinnerware that we haven't used before. It is a charming English transferware pattern made by J & G Meakin, "Avondale" was produced in at least four different colors - ours is the green version. Not as popular as the blue version or as widely available, it is sweet and easy to mix with other patterns.

With Spring just around the corner, Pat used bright yellow and white daffodils for the centerpiece

Although we used it last week, Pat chose our Mother's silverplate flatware for this week's table - "King James" by Oneida

The white dinnerware is "Racine" by Hutschenreuther - this is the luncheon plate

These Dollar Tree goblets should be part of every tablescaper's repertoire - they are inexpensive and really versatile. Best of all, if they break, they are easily and cheaply replaceable. 

Although we didn't use them, I wanted to show the unique shape of the salt and pepper shakers

We found these cute pitchers by 10 Strawberry Street a few years ago at TJMaxx

The vintage candle holders are by Abingdon Pottery (1908-1950)
