What fun it is at this time of year to set up a table for two in the garden.
We recently acquired an antique/vintage set of dishes that we like very much.
These dishes came from The Wild Garden in Cannington, Ontario. This is a floral shop that also carries antiques and gifts. I love what Scott has done with his shop.
I will provide contact information at the bottom of the post.
I did some searching online to find a pattern name and possible manufacturing dates but came up with nothing for this particular pattern.
The back stamp is a little hard to see, but it says Made in Egland H&K Tunstall.
There are many patterns under the Tunstall name.
I do enjoy pairing vintage or antique china with today's patterns.
I like how these two patterns go so nicely together even though the style and textures are very different.
When bringing two different sets like these together, find a common theme or colour.
In this display, I used colour to bring them together. The gold/yellow edge of the plate plays nicely with the same colour on the solid plates and napkins.
The set came with a couple of small pitchers that we used for individual flower arrangements.
We used vintage parfait glasses as water goblets.
I can only tell you that they came from the thrift store. I have no idea who the manufacturer was.
We used a mix of vintage silverplate flatware.
I'm moving and most of my tablecloths have been packed.
The foundation for the setting is a Pashmina scarf.
