Summer Spode Tower Table

Time for a more formal table - Pat chose Spode Pink Tower to use this week. The original pink pattern was first produced in 1920 and is still active. (Blue Tower was introduced in 1814 and has been produced in a variety of colors over the years and is still going strong.)

No charger this week (which is unusual for Pat)

Flatware is "Grand Colonial" sterling silver - I've told you before that we were gifted this gorgeous flatware by our amazing "also dish-addicted" Cousin. 

In addition to giving us the flatware, our Cousin "started" us on Spode Pink Tower. I always wanted it but was too cheap to invest in the dinnerware - so our Cousin once again gave us our first pieces.

Glassware is "Fedora" by Spiegelau

The soup tureen is my favorite piece

Where it came from:

Ecru Lace Place Mats - from a local store now out of business (which broke my heart because they had an amazing selection of laces)

Dinnerware - Originally started as a gift from our Cousin but pattern completed at Replacements.com and eBay

Flatware - "Grand Colonial" sterling silver by Wallace from our Cousin

Glassware - "Fedora" by Spiegelau from Replacements.com

Napkin - Handmade by Pat to match the dinnerware

Silver Candle Holders - from Art and Old Things (a local antique store)

This week, we will be joining "Tablescape Thursday" at Between Naps on the Porch:  http://betweennapsontheporch.net/
