A Fish Story

A Fish Tale:

Cornelia is inviting us back into her beautiful home, and this time she is sharing a fabulous ocean/seafood inspired tablescape. This whimsical table is a delight to view! So, grab a cup of coffee and a yummy scone...or perhaps a hushpuppy would be more in order. :-) Sit back, relax and enjoy!




Love all the light coming in through the windows...




Lovely chandelier...




Your place is waiting...




Fish plate is ironstone by Wächtersbach...




Cornelia told me the small fish dish is meant for potatoes. They are served in a separate dish as a side order.




Love this seagull plate...it is by Bing & Gröndahl (Danish)...




Cutlery is German and Austrian/Hungarian (k.und k. Monarchie, before 1918)...




The fish fork closest to the plate is Austrian/Hungarian and dates back before the first World War, when Austria was k.und k. (kaiserlich-königlich). Other two forks are silver, also, and come from a German manufacturer...gorgeous!






Upper silver knife is German and the lower one is Austrian/Hungarian...love the detail on these.



Glasses are by Holmegaard (Danish) and the napkins are vintage, Swiss handkerchiefs from the 50's.








Beautiful flowers from Cornelia's garden!




Vase by Sarreguemines, pattern "Flore" and the silver underplate is by Jezler...




Wow...just beautiful!




Tablecloth is from Ikea...




The candlesticks are by Royal Copenhagen (Blue Flower)...







This serving piece would be used to hold potatoes...






Do you see the beautiful lilacs in the background?




Lilacs are from Cornelia's garden...




Beautiful vase is Meissen...




Cornelia, thank-you for inviting us back into your beautiful home.



We loved every moment!
