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.

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
Charger - "Mansfield" by Lenox from Pat's daughter years ago
Dinnerware - "Mandarin" by Lenox from where ever we could find it
Flatware - "Wind Song" silverplate by Oneida from eBay
Glassware - "Fedora" by Spiegelau from Replacements
Luncheon Napkin - from Art & Old Things (a local antique store) several years ago
Geisha Figurines - from Design Toscano two or three years ago
Fan - from Michael's years ago
Crystal Tea Light Holders - from Michael's years ago
