ahwt Posts: 2334 Registered: Mar 2003	posted 12-27-2009 10:36 PM [26-1941] This Christmas my wife decided to celebrate her Scottish ancestry by making a tablecloth in the tartan of the Clan Macleod. Using a sewing machine she was given on the first Christmas of our recent marriage proved to be challenging; but she preserved and stitched a beautiful tablecloth. Louisiana gumbo was the fare for this meal with some good friends. I would love to see other holiday table settings. Art IP: Logged

dragonflywink Posts: 993 Registered: Dec 2002	posted 12-28-2009 06:22 PM Nice choice, salmoned, the spoon and bowl seem made for each other..... ahwt, that's a lovely and welcoming Christmas table. Was just my Mom, boyfriend and I at her house this year, she didn't bother pulling out the Spode, so nice to see it here. She did end up with a very pretty table using her raised grape Wedgwood creamware dishes and simple Towle Candlelight with candles and greenery on red table linens, simple and elegant (like Mom). ~Cheryl IP: Logged
Polly Posts: 1970 Registered: Nov 2004	posted 12-29-2009 01:34 AM I wish I'd taken pictures. We were four atheists and a baby, of 65% Eastern European Jewish, 30% Chinese Confucian, 5% Syrian Jewish, and 5% Swedish Lutheran extraction. Not naturally big Christmas celebrators, but it's nice to have a festive meal with friends even if it's 95% someone else's holiday. We ate roast duck off Wedgwood Esme creamware with mismatched coin and sterling flatware, mostly American, mostly from the 1870s-80s; I tried not to repeat any patterns. I used my grandmother's various American Art Nouveau sterling serving spoons/forks/ladles. Next year I'll try to remember to take a photo. IP: Logged
jersey Posts: 1203 Registered: Feb 2005	posted 12-29-2009 08:10 AM Hi! I too pulled out my Spode Christmas tree china & matching tumblers. My tablecloth was a red & green plaid. So much fun! Jersey IP: Logged
silverhunter Posts: 704 Registered: Jul 2007	posted 12-29-2009 02:17 PM Nice photo's, I think it take a long time to create such a warm design in combination with family history. It's nice to see such a table covered also with table center pieces, I think the porcelain pieces are also rather old. Some weeks ago in a t.v. program there were showed also porcelain decoration pieces (used in Holland in the 18th century). So many countries use these kind of decoration (porcelain with silver). I don't know from which century these combinations were used. You have nice table silver and my compliments for the Scotisch try out, that result to enjoy for what you showed. IP: Logged

ahwt Posts: 2334 Registered: Mar 2003	posted 01-01-2010 09:18 PM Postnikov, your guests had a beautiful table setting to enjoy. Thanks for sharing. Silverhunter, the decoration pieces are Staffordshire figures that were made in England during the 1800s. My wife likes silver, but china and pottery objects are the things that she looks at first.
