I LOVE ORIENTAL DESIGNS IN DISHES, FURNITURE AND VARIOUS GORGEOUS ACCESSORIES ORIENTALS HAVE.....I LIKE THE DYNASTIES, SPECIALLY THE MING, OF COURSE I DON'T HAVE ANY, BUT SOMEDAY MAYBE ONE SMALL PIECE.....WISHFUL THINKING!?, BUT HEY, THE SECRET IS TO HAVE WISHFUL THOUGHTS!!!
I BOUGHT THE DINNER PLATE, SALAD PLATES AND BOWLS WITH LIDS, AMONG OTHER SMALL PIECES, AROUND 29 YEARS AGO IN NEW YORK CITY AT THE MACY'S CELLAR, THEY WEREN'T A BARGAIN, BUT EXPENSIVE EITHER, THAT'S ALL I REMEMBER.
THE GORGEOUS TEA SET IS AN ANTIQUE FROM WWI ERA, I BOUGHT IT AT AN ANTIQUE SHOP...I TOTALLY FELL IN LOVE WITH IT; IT'S A TEA SET FOR 8 AND IT'S BONE CHINA, THE KIND THAT DOESN'T WEIGHT A GRAM AND IT'S TOTALLY SEE THROUGH.
THE RED TABLECLOTH IS THE C'MAS ONE I EMBROIDERED, I THOUGHT IT'LL LOOK ORIENTAL ALL OF A SUDDEN! I LOVE RED FOR VALENTINE'S.

| The soup bowls have a lid which you can use for saucers and spring rolls individually while eating your Chinese meal. I love take out, so who knows, maybe we'll have that, lol! |

So beautiful! I can't remember if I ever saw it, so I am glad you shared it again. I am getting a Chinese DIL so I am suddenly looking at Chinese porcelain with renewed interest (I have always liked it). The Foo dog is really pretty as are the soup sets.
ReplyDeleteOriental tablescape are always so intriguing. Your chargers are just great. And the red tablecloth is just the right background.
