Let's window shop for Tablescape Thursday...

Usually I am dishing up some food dishes but today I am dishing up some "china". I have only contributed once to TT hosted by Susan at between naps on the porch. I only own one set of China. I am so much better at cooking and baking then at making my table a work of art. I do however read all the TT posts every week and I have gained a wealth of knowledge from all these unique posts. Everyone is so creative. Susan, it goes without saying that your TT has brought so many lovely ladies and gentlemen together throughout the world who share your passion for beautiful place settings in the home. Thank you Susan.

While I was visiting Dupre's Antique store in Marietta, Georgia I thought I would share some of the beautiful plates and accessories for you all to view. I know that many times I read that someone is looking for a specific plate or cup to complete a set or to replace a piece of their china. Hopefully you will find it here while window shopping.

Please click on photos for more detail.


Blue and whites are always a classic and seems to be a popular TT theme.



Vintage English bone china dessert plates with colorful flowers to compliment a white place setting are always a lovely accent to a traditional tablescape.



Coaching Days by Royal Doulton.
I actually photographed the price list for this set. Pretty hefty price of $1,200 for the set
or you can buy the pieces separately.
I do remember that someone did own a set of these beauties.



Pretty red and white patterns and cups and saucers.



Pink depression glass plates and serving pieces to add to one's collection.




Colorful and ever popular Fiestaware in many hard to find discontinued colors.


Lots of pretty green dishes and glassware.


Some pretty cups and saucers to complete your tea service.


Cups and saucers came in every color with many themes and from many countries. See the lovely cup and saucer from Canada?

I hope that you all had fun window shopping with me today!

  8. Hi Joyce!
    Thank you for the shopping trip. I have wanted to visit Marietta for so long...I hear there are some wonderful shops there. Long ago, my family roots were planted there...even before Sherman marched through.

    Thanks for stopping by...

  23. What a cool shop ... someday when we finally empty the FL condo (assuming its ever sold) I will keep mom's bone china and I am sure I will need replacement pieces, I will be emailing asking where that place was ... and I am aching to own Fiestaware but someone thinks we dont need another set of dishes ... :=(

    Have fun getting ready for fall!
