Wedgwood Flying Cloud Table

"Flying Cloud" was the name of an American clipper ship launched in 1851 and sailed around the world. She was known for her record breaking speed and continued to sail until 1874 when she ran aground and was burned for scrap metal. To celebrate and remember her, Wedgwood produced its iconic dinnerware from 1969 through 1993.


Flatware is "Rialto Copper" by Ricci






The glassware is "Madeira Smoke" by Franciscan



Where it came from:
Rust Colored Leather Place Mat - from Pier 1 two or three years ago
Dinnerware - "Flying Cloud" by Wedgwood from eBay
Flatware - "Rialto Copper" by Ricci Argentieri from eBay
Glassware - "Madeira Smoke" by Franciscan from Tailwaggers (a local thrift store that supports a no-kill animal sanctuary)
Brown Napkin - Handmade by Pat
Globe - from TJMaxx two years ago
Clipper Ship - from Ross years ago

    I've never seen this Wedgewood pattern but it does make for an unusual table! And the large clipper ship is the PERFECT accent piece for this tablescape.

    I like your tablesetting with a piece of history. The dishwater is beautiful.
