<\/p>\n

Hello Everyone and welcome to the blog today. I am excited to put together a thrifted table setting for you using some newly found dishes. I discovered them at a local Miracle Hill Thrift Store in a set of four dinner plates and four salad\/dessert plates. The maker is Royal Doulton and the pattern is Rio. These are part of the Royal Doulton every day series which means they are dishwasher and microwave safe. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The dishes are quite lively and have some movement to them as you follow the leaf pattern around the rim of the plates. A number of colors are incorporated in the dishes including blue, turquoise, orangey\/gold and a rust color. The plates have white centers. I loved how the dessert plate nestles into the dinner plate and carries the colors forward. It is almost a continuation of the rim of the dinner plate. I have a Mikasa, Park Lane, crystal sherbert\/shrimp cocktail crystal dish resting on top.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The plate stack is a simple one. It begins with a bamboo charger followed by the Rio dinner plate and salad plate. Finally the crystal dish is set on top. Very simple and casual.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The paisley tablecloth was chosen to reflect the colors in the china. The golds and turquoise colors in the tablecloth are really pulled out by the Royal Doulton plates.<\/p>\n

Neutral napkins in another color reflected in the tablecloth are used. Pottery napkin rings pulling in the green and rust colors enhance the place setting.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I used my everyday Fiddlehead stainless from Pottery Barn years ago as I wanted to keep this a little more casual.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I kept the centerpiece simple as well. A purple orchid in a pot wrapped with purple gauze is situated between two crystal candlestick holders that sport purple candles. The purple color is reflected in the dinner plates and ties them together.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Everyday water and wine glasses by Mikasa complete the table setting. The wine glass is a bit taller than usual and is referred to as a Hock wine glass. Hock is a term that was used in Germany to refer to white wines and this type of glass would be used to hold the wine. I read that it was often more for display than drinking. They look quite elegant on your table.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Here’s an overhead view of the table setting. Casual and fun was what I was going for in a sort of elegant way. LOL<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

When you set your table it’s a good idea to look around the rest of the room to see how you can tie the tablescape to the decor. On this occasion I was able to pick up the colors in one of the watercolors on the focal wall and reflect it in the centerpiece. An added bonus. Hope you have a great week and set some beautiful tables.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
