Ultramarine Depression Glass Tablescape

"Swirl" by Jeannette Glass Company was made from 1937 through 1938. Although it comes in other colors, my favorite is ultramarine - a beautiful teal like glass that goes well with modern dishware. For the tablescape this week, Pat paired some of my collection with a very modern style dinner plate from Pier 1.

Pat found the glassware on sale at Pier 1 - she refers to them as the "Ruffles have ridges" glasses

I just had to have this silverplate after I saw it at a friend's house. (She said it was OK - she knows I have a dish problem.......) I found mine on eBay. They look good, don't they, Lois? Thank you so much for letting me "play" with your dishes that day - I treasure the memory visiting with Marvin.

For the first layer, Pat put an ultramarine "Swirl" salad plate on top of the napkin. It is slightly smaller than most salad plates and has a very unique rim.

Next layer is a white swirl-like salad plate from Pier 1

The matching dinner plate holds it all

You can see the detail of the vintage napkin

We used these fantastic candle holders before. I just love them. (http://thewelcomedguest.blogspot.com/2013/04/lady-on-shell-tablescape.html)
