Royal Doulton Real Old Willow Table

One of my favorite blue and white combination dish patterns is "Real Old Willow." It has been produced by several manufacturers - mine is by Royal Doulton. Pat used it for this week's table and put together a simple but sweet table setting for one.

Pat used a gold leaf charger to bring out the gold on the plate

I love this blue champagne flute - no doubt about it, it is my favorite. I saw it once in a book written by the late interior designer and  tablescaper extraordinaire, Joe Nye, and I knew that I had to have it. It took me months and months checking eBay, boutiques, internet, antique stores, yard sales, etc., and I finally found them.....

Naturally, Pat had to have wine in a blue wine bottle to coordinate with the table
