Bell Heather Table for One

Pat "scored" when she found "Bell Heather" dinnerware by Royal Doulton on eBay several years ago. A bit pricey, but well worth it, she quickly bought the set. And now, she uses it often and mixes it with other dishes to create different table designs. In addition to the Bell Heather, today's table uses another favorite - Amethyst "Newport" Depressionware by Hazel Atlas.
The table


Flatware is "King James" Silverplate by Oneida

For the first layer of the place setting, Pat used a cream soup bowl and liner in the "Bell Heather" pattern

I love the textured rim of the "Newport" Salad plate

And the rim of the "Bell Heather" dinner plate is also gorgeous

The purple glass charger is slightly textured

Remember these glasses? I think everyone attended a Princess House party at one time or another 

The creamer and sugar bowl

This is a "Newport" sherbet and liner



The small luncheon napkin (part of a set of 12) was a gift from our cousin years ago


We found these frosted amethyst candle holders on eBay a few months ago

One last look

    Such a beautiful table. I love the double handled soup bowls. This Royal Doulton is a pattern that I haven't seen before. Lovely.

    That charger! It's beautiful!!! I am particularly fond of glass chargers. They always add a little something extra to the table. Maybe it's the reflection from the glass...I don't know. This one, though, has that fabulous color going for it along with that magnificent texture. Big wow!!!

    I just love it that you have this blog to show those who are dining alone - by choice or by fate - that it can still be a wonderful, beautiful, enlightened experience. It really shows people how to treat themselves!

    Your table is a treat for the eyes. I LOVE the china and how well it coordinates with your amethyst glassware. And I'm drooling over your linen napkins with their delicate pattern. A beautiful set-up. Thanks for sharing. Rosie @ The Magic Hutch

    Gorgeous table for one. I love the combination of the beautiful Bell Heather china and the amethyst Hazel Atlas depression ware pieces. The purple charger is stunning and complements the HA perfectly. Great job!
