Saxon Flower by Royal Copenhagen... Welcome to the 93rd Tablescape Thursday!

Hello, sweet friends! How was your day? I hope you are well rested because we are jetting off to Switzerland this evening. You did bring your passport, right?

Cornelia is welcoming us back into her home for an evening of dining in her wonderful conservatory. I see she has lit the candelier for us...



Cornelia shared wonderful information about all the beautiful pieces she has used to create this table setting...so I'll let Cornelia tell you about it in her own words. Thanks, Cornelia for having us...we are delighted to be here!

Cornelia shared:

"This beautiful china is Saxon Flower by Royal Copenhagen. It is handpainted. According to the backstamp my porcelain was made mainly between 1959 till 1966, a few pieces date back to 1975 till 1984. You can date your porcelain by locating the dots placed above or below the letters in the companys name. The Dinner Plates are silverpalated and made by Robbe & Berking."




"The lace dates back to forties or fifties. It is made in Switzerland."








"The napkins I used are Swiss embroidery handkerchiefs, there are so fragile and dainty and match perfectly with the lace sets."




"The cutlery is silver and made by Jezler, Pattern is "Filet Rubans sanc et avec Feuille."




"At a second glance you realize there is a difference between the two knives. The outer knife has a pattern on the handle. This pattern is called Filet Rubans avec Feuille (with leaf) the other is called Filet Rubans sans Feuille (without leaf). The pattern was created at the beginning of the 20th century. "




"The cutlery above the plate is meant for eating fruits. It is by Jezler and made of silver. Even the blades of the knife are silver with is very unusual for a knife."




"I bought the coloured glasses in a charity shop. They came from a elderly lady who got them as an engagement present in the 30ties/40ties. The other glasses are handcut crystal."




"The flowers are all from my garden. Only the roses are bought. They are lily of the valley, lilac, wisteria, tulips, fern, lentenroses, forget me not. The Vase is made by Meissen (Wavepattern). The plate underneath is from Jezler."






"The Candlestick is also Saxon Flower by Royal Copenhagen."




Cornelia has a little coffee/tea table available here in the corner...




"The lily of the valley are from my garden. The vase is Austrian silver."




"The china is all Saxon flower."



Cornelia, thanks so much for having us back to your beautiful home...it is always such a treat to view your lovely tablescapes! I think we need a garden tour, too! :-)




Looking forward to viewing your beautiful tablescapes!
