Tablescape Thursday – more Sascha

I am continuing today with my Sascha Brastoff dishes. Last week I had coffee on the the coffee table and caught up with  some thank you notes. You can read about Sascha here.

This week the table is set for a dinner party and I will share that with you today on Tablescape Thursday hosted by Susan at Between Naps on the Porch. Susan graciously hosts this event each week so grownups can play set the table. Thank you Susan.

I started like this….

But then I saw the roses…

These dinner plates are over sized so I thought they would make good chargers. Then I put the dinner plates and bread and butters on top. I found the little saucers at an antique shop. I thought the color would pop a little with the sherberts I set on top. You may notice that I have no glassware. I haven’t found what I think would look well with these dishes.
 

Tablescape Thursday with a note or two…..

Thursday is one of my favorite blogging days because we all get to play with dishes. I have found that I like using my big pine coffee table as a setting for dishes. Today it is set for for coffee. I plan on sitting on my sofa and catching up with a couple of close friends using these note cards that I have had for too many years.


After visiting with me and saying hi, please go visit Susan at Between Naps on the Porch and see all the other wonderful tablescapes.

 

The dishes are by Sascha Brastoff and the pattern is Surf Ballet. You can read about him here. The set included the coffee pot and creamer and a covered sugar bowl. The dishes are black with a mottled black glaze. They date from the 50’s. There are several colors available. The black is not readily found.

The poppies are silk and the arrangement was purchased several years ago. The super glue to put the blossom back on the plant is in the sugar bowl!
Next week I will use the dishes on the dining room table for a dinner party. See you then.
