Vintage Lenox Mandarin Table

We finally completed our "search" for Lenox "Mandarin" dinnerware for eight - so before we use it on our other blog, Pat wanted to see how it would look on an actual table. The pattern was produced by Lenox from 1917 through 1969.

Flatware is "Wind Song" silverplate by Oneida

The flower sprays are slightly different on each piece

This one is on the dinner plate

Pat "double charged" the place setting to add more interest. This charger is "Mansfield" by Lenox.

The gorgeous, very heavy gold leaf glass charger was another "find" for Pat - she found eight of them in pristine condition at a local thrift store recently.

Glassware is "Fedora" by Spiegelau

This cup amazes me - imagine someone applying that double band of gold by hand?

Even the luncheon napkin is vintage - we found a set of them at a local antique store several years ago

 Where it came from:
Glass Gold Leaf Charger - from the Discovery Shop (the Cancer Society's Thrift Store) last year
