I was so excited to see Topanga Vintage Market touted as a top source for vintage tableware in this great LA Daily News piece that I decided to mix and match my own eclectic settings.
The Curated Table Is a Hit This Season
Apparently mixing and matching patterns and services is a new thing (my grandmother might disagree!) I have to say, it looks very beautiful in the photos and makes sense to a “pinch of this, dash of that” kind of gal like me.
I decided to bring out my own special china and create a “curated table” of my own. I had a limited amount yet very wide style range to work with. Very formal gold rimmed Phoenixware china from England, and hand thrown ceramic Vince Kitira plates from Thailand, a few Russel Wright pieces, and 1930’s bakelite flatware. The Wright pieces were all wrong, but the rest seemed to hit if off. OK, so here goes!
Patrice’s Special Blend
Not too bad! Unfortunately I only have enough pieces to do a table for three. Always an awkward number! SO, I guess I will be joining the shoppers at our fall shows hunting for more pretty pieces for larger gatherings around my table.
Here’s a preview of what you might find for your own holiday table:
Mixed China at Topanga Vintage
Pink Depression Ware Serving Dishes
Blue Patterned China from Irene Tompkins
Cut Crystal and an Ethnic Apron
Every Kind of Serving Spoon and Fork
See you there!
