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 |
