Limoges china reflects the very definition of Romantic Style. In fact the pattern I just discovered in a thrift store looks a bit like the fabric on the cover of Selina Lake's book.
The waning light lends a little romantic haze to the dessert table where a mix of china is laid out.
I've never seen this Haviland and Co. pattern before. How about you?
The delicate design is perfect for a ladies lunch or tea.
It's amazing how similar so many floral spray patterns are, as is found in this little ironstone pitcher that I have shown before.
Dessert anyone? A new glass dome is paired with my vintage cake stand.
My inherited tea set is also vintage.
I have found so many uses for small vintage pressed glass dishes. Here one holds my dessert forks.
So pretty, and so very inexpensive.
Flatware is vintage Rogers Bros. silverplate.
Vintage monogrammed luncheon napkins.
Thanks so much for stopping by!
Ciao! for now!

ReplyDeleteJaqueline, you have the most gorgeous china ever. I thought I had pretty china, but sigh...you're bad for my diet, you are ;) xoxo tami
ReplyDeleteI've got to get back to ALQ and visit your shop. Everything is so dainty and sweet. You've done a terrific job-thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI love your new finds. They all work together so beautifully.
ReplyDeleteI love how delicate Limoge is, I snap pieces up when ever I can!
ReplyDeleteLove the new old dishes you found. My grandmother's china that I inherited is a Haviland pattern.
ReplyDeleteThat Haviland & Co. pattern is a new one for me, too... Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful limoge pattern! I adore it. And do you know, I think one of my close friends has this same pattern??? I don't know the name, but it is just stunning. If it were earlier, I would call her to ask.
ReplyDeleteHappy Tablescape Thursday to you...
XO,
Sheila :-)
Love Limoges...it is the china I picked to for my 'good' china and I have place settings of 12. The old patterns are the prettiest.
ReplyDeleteDearest Jacqueline,
ReplyDeleteYou got yourself some gorgeous Limoges pieces. They make a feast out of the most simple meal or sweet served in them.
I've searched in the Limoges collector's encyclopedia but didn't find that pattern either. There is still another book but it's my bedtime so I leave it with this.
Did you sign up for my 925/000 silver angel giveaway? It is to the right on my blog at the very top; click on the button and you're taken straight to the action!

Jacqueline Hey, if I visit muho enjoy every post. This time the acquisition is indeed more than luck, because the pattern of tea or coffee set is beautiful! looks so delicate and glass containers are really necessary in every kitchen. Marie rose greetings
ReplyDeleteOh, Jacqueline! What beautiful, sweet dishes! Very lovely. I have a pressed glass dish similar to yours, that was my great-grandmother's! Whenever I use it, I wonder about her and what she might have served in it. Aren't pretty dishes so fun?!
ReplyDeleteLove, Kay
All your china is so pretty and the mixed patterns go well together.
ReplyDeleteI love the initialed napkins, I'm aways on the prowl for vintage linens at the anitque stores.
I LOVE Haviland! Did you know that there are more than 35,000 patterns of Haviland? Your Limoges teaset is also lovely. Aren't family treasures just the very best! Thank you for sharing your beautiful vignette. Cherry Kay
