Ultramarine Swirl Depression Glass Tablescape

Pat and I had a fun weekend setting tables with Pat's daughter who was here visiting before we went shopping buying things we didn't need. One of the tables was set using our "Ultra Marine Swirl" Depression Glass by Jeannette Glass Company manufactured from 1937 through 1938.

The simple place setting sets the Depression Glass off - sleek, narrow handled stainless steel flatware adds to the look

Flatware is "Queensgate" by J.A. Henckels

Glassware is "Esprit" from Princess House

The centerpiece consists of the creamer and sugar bowl and salt and pepper shaker on a matching salver

Updated Heinrich "Sepia" Tablescape

Pat decided to challenge herself this week by using a somewhat nondescript set of German porcelain dinnerware that we haven't used in years and update it to add more color and style. By adding mirror place mats and red accents, the table becomes vivid and lively. 

The off-white porcelain plate has gray flowers and is trimmed in gold

Pat used a Depression Glass dinner plate to add more detail

The Chinese Red Charger is an inexpensive plastic charger (you can always find them at thrift stores and yard sales) spray painted with plastic-adhesive spray paint to match the glassware and flatware

Glassware is "Midnight Rouge" by Artland

The glitzy napkin ring adds lots of needed sparkle to the place setting

An assortment of glittery balls adds more "glam"

Where it came from:

Rectangular Mirror Place Mats - from Michael's years ago

Dinnerware - "Sepia" by Heinrich from a local antique store years ago

Red Glass Dinner Plate - Depression glass by Anchor Hocking from our collection

Chinese Red Charger - Inexpensive plastic charger spray painted to match glassware

Flatware - Red "San Remo" by Hampton Silversmith from Tuesday Morning ten years ago

Glassware - "Midnight Rouge" by Artland from Replacements,Ltd.

Napkin Rings - from Pier 1 ten years ago

Gray Napkins - Handmade by Pat
