As I am putting together my tablescape for St. Patrick’s Day I’ve chosen simple square green plates, cups and saucers. Beside white linen, I decided on simple silverplate wares.
We begin with two Paul Revere designs: a bowl and a water pitcher
The designs look contemporary, so it’s hard to think that they are of the American Colonial era, designed by silversmith and patriot, Paul Revere.
The tea set is also very simple in design
The only embellishment on each piece is a narrow strip of lines.
The napkin rings are a simple square edged design:
Salt and pepper shakers are a clean egg-like shape:
A three-tier stand is also decorated only with simple curves and swirls:
I made a compote of a bowl with simple Chippendale lines that I affixed to a green candleholder using Dept. 56 Tacky Wax:
This two-part dish can be used for candy, nuts and other small treats
The dish features a graceful twist for a handle:
I usually place a pineapple trivet on the table. This silver one is a traditional design with simple lines.
Please check back on Tuesday March 16 for the complete St. Patrick’s Day Tea setting.
